Intro 1

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

'Cause every time the sun goes down

We face another night here

Waiting for the world to spin around

Just to survive

Chorus 1

But when you see the morning sun

Burning through a silver mist

Don't you want to thank someone?

Interlude 1

Don't you want to thank someone

(for this?)

Verse 3

Have you ever wondered why

In spite of all that's wrong here

There's still so much that goes so right

And beauty abounds?

'Cause  (E flat major) sometimes when you walk outside
Ab 
The  (A flat major) air is full of song here

Verse 5

I used to be a little boy

As golden as a sunrise

Breaking over Illinois

When the corn was tall

Verse 6

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

Chorus 3

Oh, but then forgiveness comes

It's a grace that I cannot resist

And I just want to thank someone

I just want to thank someone
