Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and I've also felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh but I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm just weary to my bone
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
So far away from home
So far away from home
Don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
Don't have a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh but it's alright, it's alright
For we've lived so well so long
Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was dying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing an American Tune
Oh but it's alright, it's alright it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest.
