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 alright I'm alright 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

Don't know a soul who has not been battered

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 reassuredly

I dreamed I was flying 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 come on the ship

that sails the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hours and sing an
American tune

Oh but it's alright it's alright 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
