American Tune

Many is the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and ever often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right so right
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 its 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 gone wrong
I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
And 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 the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the 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 so 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
