Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused


Many's the time I've been forsaken


And certainly abused

But it's all right, it's all right


You can't be forever blessed


When I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest


I've got to get some rest




I don't know a soul who's not been battered


Don't have a friend who feels at ease


Don't know a dream that's not been shattered

Or driven to its knees


Oh but it's all right, it's all right


We've lived so well so long

And when I think of the road we've travelled on


So far away from home


So far away from home




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

In a dream 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 hour


And we sing an American tune

Oh but it's all right, it's all right


You can't be forever blessed


And when I think of another working day

I've just got to get some rest


I've got to get some rest
