American Tune

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

But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
(Still) 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

But it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
(Still) Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
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 (Flying)

We come on a ship they call the Mayflower
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, all right, it's all right, it's all right
We can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's going to be another working day
I'm trying to get some rest
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest
