[Intro - shimmering guitars, warm pad, groove settles in] [Verse 1 - litany, wondering] Thank you, rain For being free the night that nothing else was Thank you, empty hands For being finally light enough to hold Thank you, wrong door With the fold-crease shirt behind it Thank you, terrible pasta Thank you, candle doing its best [Chorus - wide, weightless] How about that The bottom was a doorway How about that The nothing was the gift What if every loss was freight Arriving with my name on it Thank you, ruin Thank you, rain Thank you, all of it [Verse 2 - litany continues] Thank you, five-dollar socks For teaching me what money's for Thank you, paper hat Heavier with honor than a crown Thank you, borrowed hoodie Handed through a doorway late at night. Thank you, handkerchief Passed down a pew by strangers looking away [Chorus] How about that The wreckage was a road How about that The stripping was a bath What if grace was in the takings As deep as in the gifts Thank you, winter Thank you, lamp Thank you, cracked spine [Bridge - floating down, voice and pad] And thank you, slow work The prayer I only get halfway through The light that stays on anyway The names I say into the dark Some things heal at the speed of seasons Some debts dissolve like snow I was in a hurry my whole life And forever said take it slow [Verse 3 - the people, warmer] Thank you, mother with a legal pad Thank you, quiet man who knew about the seam Thank you, friend who came to my table And put the whole weight down Thank you, man asleep upstairs With your hand that finds my back You wanted only me, for free, forever Of all the things Of all the impossible things [Final Chorus - gospel-warm backgrounds, high descant] How about that I came here pre-paid How about that And he gave me back for free The lowest price the world could print Outbid by grace at dawn Thank you, rain and all Thank you, rain and all For carrying me home [Outro - long fade, litany into silence] Thank you, rain Thank you, name Thank you, morning Thank you, thank you
