Many´s the time I´ve been mistaken, and many times confused Yes and I´ve often felt forsaken, and certainly misused Ah but I´m alright, I´m alright, 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 alright, it´s alright, for we 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
But we come on a ship they called Mayflower We come on a ship that sailed the moon We come in the ages´ most uncertain hours and sing an American tune And it´s alright, oh it´s alright, it´s alright, you can 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
