Looking Up – Elton John

I’ve figured out where I went wrong
The script not followed then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too little of
The acting right, not acting up
I’ve worn the world upon my back
Would someone else but me pick up the slack?
Just because I could say
It’s my life, do things my way

Now I’m looking up more than I look down
The view’s a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was living in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays, I’m thinking ‘bout
Time is wasted looking back

Now I’m looking up more than I look down
The view’s a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was living in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

You drop a bucket in a well
It’s dark and deep down there
Crank the handle, bring it up
The water, crystal clear

I’m looking up more than I look down
The view’s a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was living in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
I’m looking up more than I look down
The view’s a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was living in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

Looking up
Looking up
Looking up
Looking up
