Looking Up - Elton John

Figuring 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 wore the world upon my back

Though someone else could meet, 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 hidden 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 hidden 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 hidden 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 hidden in the shadows

I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

Looking up, looking up

Looking up, looking up
