Don't You Want To Thank Someone Lyrics - Light For The Lost Boy - 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?

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

'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 

Photos 

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
