Well can't you feel it in your bones

We face another night here

Csus
Oh the air is full of song here
C
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs

And the rain comes down the rain comes down

I used to be a little boy

As golden as a sunrise

Breaking over illinois
Am7 F2
When the corn was tall

Yeah, but every little boy grows up

And he's haunted by the heart that died
C
Longing for the world that was

Before the fall

Oh, but then forgiveness comes

A grace that I cannot resist
Am7
And I just want to thank someone

Ponte:
Am7
Now I can see the world is charged
Gsus
It's glimmering with promises
F2
Written in a script of stars
Em7
Dripping from prophets' lips
Am7
But still, my thirst is never slaked
Gsus
I am hounded by a restlessness
F2
I'm eaten by this endless ache
Em7
But still I will give thanks for this
Am7
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat
Gsus
I can feel it when the horses run
F2
It's howling in the snowy peaks
Em7
It's blazing in the midnight sun
Am7
Just behind a veil of wind
Gsus
A million angels waiting in the wings
F2
A swirling storm of cherubim
Em7
Making ready for the reckoning
Am7 Gsus
Oh, how long, how long?
F2 Gsus
Oh, sing on, sing on
Verso 4:
C
And when the world is new again
Csus
And the children of the king
C
Are ancient in their youth again
Am7
Maybe it's a better thing
F2
A better thing
C
To be more than merely innocent
Csus
But to be broken then redeemed by love
C
Maybe this old world is bent
Am7
But it's waking up
F2
And I'm waking up
Am7
'Cause I can hear the voice of one
Gsus
He's crying in the wilderness
Am7
"Make ready for the kingdom come"
F2 C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
F2
To thank someone for this
Ending

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
F2
Hallalujah! Hallelujah!
