[Verse 1: Jimmie Allen]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
Every long road
Song that I half-wrote
Brought me to where I am

[Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
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

[Post-Chorus]
In the bones
In the bones
In the bones
In the bones
In the bones
In the bones
In the bones
[Verse 2: Elton John]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John]
Every long road
Song that I half-wrote
Brought me where I am

[Chorus: Jimmie Allen & Elton John]
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

[Post-Chorus: Elton John]
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
[Bridge: Jimmie Allen, Elton John]
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

[Chorus: Jimmie Allen & Elton John, Jimmie Allen]
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

[Post-Chorus: Elton John]
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
[Outro: Elton John, Jimmie Allen]
Beauty in the bones
Beauty in the bones
Beauty in the bones
There's beauty in the bones
