All That I'm Allowed (I'm Thankful)

All That I'm Allowed

Elton John

Breaking down never seems to be that hard

Falling short is always in the cards

I'm on the road, sunrise is at my back

Lost it all somewhere between the cracks

I always hoped that I'd do better

I always hoped that I'd do better

That I'd come out on top for once

That I'd come out on top for once

We all get what we deliver

We all get what we deliver

Then there are the lucky ones

Then there are the lucky ones

And I've got all that I'm allowed

And I've got all that I'm allowed

And I've got all that I'm allowed

It'll do for me, I'm thankful now

It'll do for me, I'm thankful now

It'll do for me, I'm thankful now

The walls get higher every day

The walls get higher every day

The walls get higher every day

The barriers get in the way

The barriers get in the way

The barriers get in the way

But I see hope in every cloud

But I see hope in every cloud

But I see hope in every cloud

And I'm thankful, thankful

And I'm thankful, thankful

And I'm thankful, thankful

I'm thankful, So thankful

I'm thankful, So thankful

I'm thankful, So thankful

I'm thankful, So thankful

I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

Leaving town gets to feel just like a job

My desire never winds up on top

I can say now I didn't want the moon

It's out of reach somewhere beyond this room

I always try to make things clear

Then I watched as progress starts

I only hope I'm standing here

When heaven finally comes to call

Thankful

All that I'm allowed

So thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed
