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

[00:39.40]I always hoped that I'd do better

[00:44.27]That I'd come out on top for once

[00:49.52]We all get what we deliver

[00:54.57]Then there are the lucky ones

[02:19.63][00:59.34]And I've got all that I'm allowed

[02:22.39][01:02.22]It'll do for me, I'm thankful now

[02:24.59][01:04.46]The walls get higher every day

[02:29.54][01:09.48]The barriers get in the way

[02:32.15][01:11.96]But I see hope in every cloud

[02:34.86][01:14.82]And I'm thankful, thankful

[03:46.98][02:39.84][01:19.72]I'm thankful, So thankful

[04:07.26][03:52.02][02:44.87][01:24.79]I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed

[04:15.20][01:32.35]

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
