And breaking down never seems to be that hard
Falling short is always in the cards
I'm on the road, sun rising at my back
Lost it all somewhere between the cracksI 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 onesAnd I've got all that I'm allowed
It'll do for me, I'm thankful now
The walls get higher every dayThe 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 allowedAnd 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 roomI 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 onesAnd I've got all that I'm allowed
It'll do for me, I'm thankful now
The walls get higher every dayThe 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 allowedI've always tried to make things clear
Then I watched as progress stalled
I only hope I'm standing here
When Heaven finally comes to callAnd I've got all that I'm allowed
It'll do for me, I'm thankful now
The walls get higher every dayThe 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 allowedThankful
I'm thankful, so thankful
I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed
All that I'm allowedI'm thankful and I've got all that I'm allowed
So thankful and I've got all that I'm allowed
