Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

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
That I´d come out on top for once
We all get what we deliver
Then there are the lucky ones

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

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

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

I 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
