Andrew Peterson - Don't You Want To Thank Someone Lyrics
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
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
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!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Come back soon
Come back soon

Andrew Peterson Don't You Want To Thank Someone Comments
What a beautiful song! I can't believe I am only now discovering it!
Great reminder of being Thankful to the Creator. This song and arrangement is pure musical genius, even on the level of the best Pink Floyd music. Except this is from the best Christian Artist presently.
Awsome music and great lyrics. Addresses past, the present which is not perfect but so much to be thankful for and the future hope when the Messiah returns as the King.
Thank You Lord
Ya Thank the God above
A great song to remind us to thank God often and forever.
Amazing.
Yes! Thank you Almighty Creator!
Thanking God for his everlasting love.
Feeling Thankful today.
This song is profound--not sure about "comforting and lovely"--but profound it is...
This is so comforting and lovely!
