Elton John - All That I'm Allowed Lyrics
Lyrics by Bernie TaupinBreaking down never seems to be that hardFalling short is always in the cardsI'm on the road, sunrise is at my backLost it all somewhere between the cracksI always hoped that I'd do betterThat I'd come out on top for onceWe all get what we're deliveredThen there are the lucky onesAnd I've got all that I'm allowedIt'll do for me, I'm thankful nowThe walls get higher every dayThe barriers get in the wayBut I see hope in every cloudAnd I'm thankful, thankfulI'm thankful, So thankfulI'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowedLeaving town gets to feel just like a jobMy desire never winds up on topI can say now I didn't want the moonIt's out of reach somewhere beyond this roomI always hoped that I'd do betterThat I'd come out on top for onceWe all get what we're deliveredThen there are the lucky onesAnd I've got all that I'm allowedIt'll do for me, I'm thankful nowThe walls get higher every dayThe barriers get in the wayBut I see hope in every cloudAnd I'm thankful, thankfulI'm thankful, so thankfulI'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowedI always try to make things clearThen I watched as progress stallsI only hope I'm standing hereWhen heaven finally comes to call
