Lyrics

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 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 Oh, 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 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 "Mayflower," We come on the ship that sailed to the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hour And sing an American tune Oh, and it's all right It's all right, it's all right; You can't 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
