Lyric American Tune
Many s 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 thru 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 live 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 a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American tune
And it s alright, oh it s alright, it s alright, you can 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
Yes and I ve often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I m alright, I m alright, I m just weary thru 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 live 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 a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American tune
And it s alright, oh it s alright, it s alright, you can 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
