Many is the time I've been mistaken
An d many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
An d certainly misused
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still you don't expect to be
bright and bon vivant
so far away from home,
so far away from home.
I don't know a soul
who's not been battered.
I don't have a friend who feels at ease.
I don't know 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
Looking back down at me,
smiled reassuringly
I dreamed I was flying
High up above my eyes
could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty sail
ing away to sea
Dreamed I was flying
But we come on a ship
they call the Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's
most un certain hours
An d sing an American tune
It's alright, it's al right, it's alright
You can't be forever
blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be
another working day
An d I'm trying to get some rest
But that's all I'm trying to get,
some rest
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be
another workin' day
An d I'm tryin' to get some rest
That's all I'm tryin' to get,
some rest
I'll see you next
