Lyrics
0:05Many is the time I've been mistaken
0:11And many times confused
0:17Yes and ever often felt forsaken
0:23And certainly misused
0:30But I'm all right so right
0:35Just weary to my bones
0:43Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
0:49So far away from home so far away from home
1:03And I don't know a soul
1:05Who's not been battered
1:10I don't have a friend who feels at ease
1:15I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
1:22Or driven to its knees
1:29But it's all right it's all right
1:34For we've lived so well so long
1:42Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
1:48I wonder what gone wrong
1:53I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong
2:02And I dreamed I was dying
2:07And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
2:15And looking back down at me
2:17Smiled reassuringly
2:21And I dreamed I was flying
2:26And high up above my eyes could clearly see
2:33The Statue of Liberty
2:36Sailing away to sea
2:40And I dreamed I was dying
2:46We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
2:52We come on the ship that sailed the moon
2:58We come in the age's most uncertain hour
3:04And sing an American tune
3:11But it's all right it's so right
3:16You can't be forever blessed
3:24And tomorrow's going to be another working day
3:30And I'm trying to get some rest
3:36That's all I'm trying to get some rest
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
