Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
It's alright, it's 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

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
And 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'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
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 dying

We come on a ship they call the Mayflower
We 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, it's all right, all right
You can't be forever blessed
And 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
