Lyrics of
Dont You Want To Thank Someone

Well can't you feel it in your bones
Csus
Something that you've always known
But you don't know why
'Cause every time the sun goes down
Csus
Waiting for the world to spin around
Just to survive
But when you see the morning sun
Gsus
Don't you want to thank someone?
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
Instrumental: C F2
Well have you ever wondered why
Csus
There's still so much that goes so right
And beauty abounds?
'Cause sometimes when you walk outside
Csus
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs
And the rain comes down the rain comes down
And when you see the spring has come
Gsus
Don't you want to thank someone?
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
Interlude
to thank someone for this
oh don't you want to thank someone
don't you want to thank someone for this
I used to be a little boy
Csus
Breaking over illinois
When the corn was tall
Yeah, but every little boy grows up
Csus
Longing for the world that was
Before the fall
Oh, but then forgiveness comes
Gsus
And I just want to thank someone
I just want to thank someone for this
C F2
Now I can see the world is charged
Gsus
Written in a script of stars
Dripping from prophets' lips
But still, my thirst is never slaked
Gsus
I'm eaten by this endless ache
But still I will give thanks for this
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat
Gsus
It's howling in the snowy peaks
It's blazing in the midnight sun
Just behind a veil of wind
Gsus
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
Csus
Are ancient in their youth again
Maybe it's a better thing
A better thing
To be more than merely innocent
Csus
Maybe this old world is bent
But it's waking up
And I'm waking up
'Cause I can hear the voice of one
Gsus
"Make ready for the kingdom come"
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
To thank someone for this
Ending
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallalujah! Hallelujah!
C F2 (pretty much for 3 minutes)
