Discover the story of the song > Thanksgiving Prayer – A. Savage

The protagonist sings about how money and material possessions don't make him feel rich, but rather the love and support he receives from the people in his life. He reflects on how much time he and his partner spend apart, but realizes that being present with each other in the moment is what truly matters. He questions the different roles people play in society and encourages self-reflection on who one would rather be. The protagonist compares the feeling of being civilized to a nursery of light within him that he must protect, and emphasizes the importance of listening to the darkness within and learning from it. He concludes by comparing the act of waking up to the sound of the dawn to saying a Thanksgiving prayer that can be felt in the air.
