[00:26.15]Can’t you feel it in your bones
[00:31.66]Something isn’t right here
[00:36.12]Something that you’ve always known
[00:40.66]But you don’t know why
[00:46.93]’Cause every time the sun goes down
[00:51.42]We face another night here
[00:56.94]Waiting for the world to spin around
[01:00.50]Just to survive
[01:07.70]But when you see the morning sun
[01:12.22]Burning through a silver mist
[01:17.62]Don’t you want to thank someone?
[01:20.43]Don’t you want to thank someone for this?
[01:33.99]Don’t you ever wonder why
[01:38.48]In spite of all that’s wrong here
[01:42.97]There’s still so much that goes so right
[01:47.55]And beauty abounds?
[01:53.80]’Cause sometimes when you walk outside
[01:58.33]The air is full of song here
[02:03.74]The thunder rolls and the baby sighs
[02:08.36]And the rain comes down
[02:14.69]And when you see the spring has come
[02:19.18]And it warms you like a mother’s kiss
[02:24.50]Don’t you want to thank someone?
[02:27.30]Don’t you want to thank someone for this?
[02:50.76]I used to be a little boy
[02:56.24]As golden as a sunrise
[03:01.69]Breaking over Illinois
[03:04.39]When the corn was tall
[03:11.53]Yeah, but every little boy grows up
[03:16.10]And he’s haunted by the heart that died
[03:21.56]Longing for the world that was
[03:25.19]Before the Fall
[03:32.47]Oh, but then forgiveness comes
[03:36.99]A grace that I cannot resist
[03:42.34]And I just want to thank someone
[03:45.00]I just want to thank someone for this
[04:29.21]Now I can see the world is charged
[04:33.89]It’s glimmering with promises
[04:39.21]Written in a script of stars
[04:44.22]Dripping from prophets’ lips
[04:49.60]But still, my thirst is never slaked
[04:54.13]I am hounded by a restlessness
[04:59.55]Eaten by this endless ache
[05:04.90]But still I will give thanks for this
[05:09.22]’Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat
[05:14.62]I can feel it when the horses run
[05:20.06]It’s howling in the snowy peaks
[05:25.52]It’s blazing in the midnight sun
[05:30.96]Just behind a veil of wind
[05:34.60]A million angels waiting in the wings
[05:40.99]A swirling storm of cherubim
[05:45.55]Making ready for the Reckoning
[05:50.08]Oh, how long, how long?
[05:59.99]Oh, sing on, sing on
[06:12.65]And when the world is new again
[06:17.14]And the children of the King
[06:22.54]Are ancient in their youth again
[06:26.14]Maybe it’s a better thing
[06:29.74]A better thing
[06:32.48]To be more than merely innocent
[06:36.04]But to be broken then redeemed by love
[06:43.21]Maybe this old world is bent
[06:46.87]But it’s waking up
[06:49.62]And I’m waking up
[06:53.52]’Cause I can hear the voice of one
[06:58.04]He’s crying in the wilderness
[07:03.46]”Make ready for the Kingdom Come”
[07:06.17]Don’t you want to thank someone for this?
[07:17.59]Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
[07:27.58]Hallalujah! Hallelujah!
[08:42.22]Come back soon
[08:52.12]Come back soon
