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
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'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 flying
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 all right
you can't be forever blessed
still
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
