American Tune

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

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 crying

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
Oh, and it's alright, it's all right
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
