Artist/Band: Elton John
Lyrics for Song: All That I'm Allowed (I'm Thankful)
Lyrics for Album: Peachtree Road [2004]



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'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



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 starts

I only hope I'm standing here

When heaven finally comes to cal;


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

Released on the 2004 compilation Peachtree Road, this track by Elton John blends his signature piano-driven pop sensibilities with a reflective tone. The song appears within a collection of tracks that highlight his enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies. While not a chart-topping single from a major studio album, it represents a moment in his later discography where he continued to explore themes of gratitude and personal acceptance. The recording maintains the polished production quality characteristic of his work from the early 2000s, featuring his distinctive vocal style and melodic phrasing. It stands as a testament to his consistent output and his capacity to deliver heartfelt music across different phases of his career.
