Jimmie Allen, Elton John - Beauty in the Bones lyrics

There was a time when
I was feeling incomplete
Lost in the shadow of the person I could be
Chasing perfection in every direction
So focused on the end
I didn't see the journey and
Take in every step

Every long road song that I half-wrote
Brought me to where I am

Every root turns into branches
Every question leads to answers
Even if the seed ain’t fully grown
There's beauty in the bones
Just a drop can start a riptide
Just a word can change a whole life
Even if this story ain't been wrote
There’s beauty in the bones

In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones

There was a light inside the
Darkness I could sense and when I found it
That's when beauty all began
Calm in the chaos
I'm not afraid of learning things
My heart don't know
'Cause every new beginning starts with hope

Every long road song that I half-wrote
Brought me where I am

Every root turns into branches
Every question leads to answers
Even if the seed ain't fully grown
There's beauty in the bones
Just a drop can start a riptide
Just a word can change a whole life
Even if this story ain't been wrote
There’s beauty in the bones

In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones there’s beauty in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones there's beauty in the bones

Like a half-drawn masterpiece
Like a half-played symphony
There’s a beauty in imperfect
In the journey and where it all leads to

Every root turns into branches
Every question leads to answers
Even if the seed ain't fully grown
There's beauty in the bones
(There's beauty in the bones)
Just a drop can start a riptide
Just a word can change a whole life
Even if this story ain’t been wrote
There's beauty in the bones

In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones in the bones
In the bones there's beauty in the bones

Beauty in the bones beauty in the bones
Beauty in the bones
There's beauty in the bones
