LyricMeaning

Don't You Want to Thank Someone
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


'Cause every time the sun goes down

We face another night here

Waiting for the world to spin around

Just to survive


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?


Don't you ever wonder why

In spite of all that's wrong here

There's still so much that goes so right

And beauty abounds?


'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


And when you see the spring has come

And it warms you like a mother's kiss

Don't you want to thank someone?

Don't you want to thank someone for this?


I used to be a little boy

As golden as a sunrise

Breaking over Illinois

When the corn was tall


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


Oh, but then forgiveness comes

A grace that I cannot resist

And I just want to thank someone

I just want to thank someone for this


Now I can see the world is charged

It's glimmering with promises

Written in a script of stars

Dripping from prophets' lips


But still, my thirst is never slaked

I am hounded by a restlessness

Eaten by this endless ache

But still I will give thanks for this


'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat

I can feel it when the horses run

It's howling in the snowy peaks

It's blazing in the midnight sun


Just behind a veil of wind

A million angels waiting in the wings

A swirling storm of cherubim

Making ready for the Reckoning


Oh, how long, how long?

Oh, sing on, sing on


And when the world is new again

And the children of the King

Are ancient in their youth again

Maybe it's a better thing

A better thing


To be more than merely innocent

But to be broken then redeemed by love

Maybe this old world is bent

But it's waking up

And I'm waking up


'Cause I can hear the voice of one

He's crying in the wilderness

Make ready for the Kingdom Come

Don't you want to thank someone for this?


Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallalujah! Hallelujah!

Come back soon

Come back soon
