Many is the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused Ah, but I'm alright, I'm alright 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 alright, it's alright For 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 But we come on the ship they called 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 Whoa whoa, and it's alright, oh 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
