Don’t You Want To Thank Someone

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Andrew Peterson] Can't you feel it in your bones Something isn't right here Something that you've always known But you don't know why [Verse 2: Andrew Peterson] 'Cause every time the sun goes down We face another night here Waiting for the world to spin around Just to survive [Chorus 1: Andrew Peterson] But when you see the morning sun Burning through a silver mist Don't you want to thank someone? Don't you want to thank someone for this? [Verse 3: Andrew Peterson] Well have you ever wonder why In spite of all that's wrong here There's still so much that goes so right And beauty abounds? [Verse 4: Andrew Peterson] 'Cause sometimes when you walk outside The air is full of song here The thunder rolls and the baby sighs And the rain comes down [Chorus 2: Andrew Peterson] And when you see the spring has come And it warms you like a mother's kiss Oh don't you want to thank someone? Don't you want to thank someone for this? To thank someone for this? Oh don't you want to thank someone? Don't you want to thank someone for this? [Verse 5: Andrew Peterson] I used to be a little boy As golden as a sunrise Breaking over Illinois When the corn was tall [Verse 6: Andrew Peterson] Yeah, but every little boy grows up And he's haunted by the heart that died Longing for the world that was Before the Fall [Chorus 3: Andrew Peterson] Oh, but then forgiveness comes It's a grace that I cannot resist And I just want to thank someone I just want to thank someone for this [Verse 7: Andrew Peterson] Now I can see the world is charged It's glimmering with promises Written in a script of stars And dripping from prophets' lips Oh but still, my thirst is never slaked I am hounded by a restlessness I am eaten by this endless ache But still I will give thanks for this [Verse 8: Andrew Peterson] 'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat Oh, I can feel it when the horses run It's howling in the snowy peaks And it's blazing in the midnight sun Oh, just behind a veil of wind A million angels waiting in the wings A swirling storm of cherubim Making ready for the Reckoning [Bridge: Andrew Peterson] Oh, how long, how long? Oh, sing on, sing on [Verse 9: Andrew Peterson] And when the world is new again And the children of the King Are ancient in their youth again Well maybe it's a better thing A better thing [Verse 10: Andrew Peterson] To be more than merely innocent Oh, but to be broken then redeemed by love Well maybe this old world is bent But it's waking up And I'm waking up [Chorus 4: Andrew Peterson] 'Cause I can hear the voice of one Crying in the wilderness "Make ready for the kingdom come" Don't you want to thank someone for this? To thank someone for this? [Bridge: Andrew Peterson] Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallalujah, hallelujah [Outro: Jill Philips] Come back soon Come back soon
