All That I'm Allowed lyrics by Elton John
All That I'm Allowed - Elton JohnIntro
1. Strophe
Breaking down never seems to be that hard,
falling short is always in the cards.
I'm on the road, sunrising is at my back,
lost it all somewhere between the cracks.
I always hoped that I'd do better,
that I'd come out on top for once.
We all get what we're delivered,
then there are the lucky ones.
1. Refrain
And I've got all that I'm allowed,
it'll do for me, I'm thankful now,
the walls get higher every day.
The barriers get in the way,
but I see hope in every cloud.
And I'm thankful, thankful.
I'm thankful, so thankful.
I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed.
2. Strophe
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 hoped that I'd do better,
that I'd come out on top for once.
We all get what we're delivered,
then there are the lucky ones.
2. Refrain
And I've got all that I'm allowed,
it'll do for me, I'm thankful now,
the walls get higher every day.
The barriers get in the way,
but I see hope in every cloud.
And I'm thankful, thankful.
I'm thankful, so thankful.
I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed.
Bridge:
I've always try to make things clear,
then I watched as progress stalled.
I only hope I'm standing here,
when heaven finally comes to call.
Instrumental
3. Refrain
And I've got all that I'm allowed,
it'll do for me, I'm thankful now,
the walls get higher every day.
The barriers get in the way,
but I see hope in every cloud.
And I'm thankful, thankful.
I'm thankful, so thankful.
I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed.
Coda
So thankful,
and I've got all that I'm allowed...
