Many's the time I've been mistaken | |
And many times confused | |
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken | |
And 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 | |
And 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 | |
but it's all right, it's all right | |
We 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 flying | |
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 hours | |
and sing an American tune | |
And It's alright, it's all right | |
You can't be forever blessed | |
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day | |
And I'm trying to get some rest | |
That's all I'm trying to get some rest |
