American Tune

Many's the time I've been mistaken
 And many times confused
 Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
 And certainly misused
 But I'm all right, I'm all right
 I'm just weary to my bones
 (Still) Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
 So far away from home
 So far away from home
 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've lived so well so long
 (Still) Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
 I wonder what's gone wrong
 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 (Flying)
 We come on a ship they call the Mayflower
 Come on a ship that sailed the moon
 We come in the age's most uncertain hour
 And sing an American tune
 But it's all right, all right, it's all right, it's all right
 We can't be forever blessed
 Still tomorrow's going to be another working day
 I'm trying to get some rest
 That's all, I'm trying to get some rest
