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 starts
|
I only hope I'm standing here
|
When heaven finally comes to call
|
