Many's the time I've been mistakenAnd many times confusedYes, and I've often felt forsakenAnd certainly misusedOh but I'm alright, I'm alrightJust weary to my bonesStill you don't expect to be bright and bon vivantSo far away from homeSo far away from homeDon't know a soul who has not been batteredDon't have a friend who feels at easeI don't know a dream that's not been shatteredOr diven to its kneesOh, but it's alright, it's alrightFor we've lived so well so longStill when I think of the road we're travelin' onI wonder what's gone wrongI can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrongAnd I dreamed I was dyingI dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedlyLooking back down at me, smiled reassuredlyI dreamed I was flyingHigh up above my eyes could clearly seeThe statue of liberty sailing away to seaAnd I dreamed I was flyingWe come on the ship they call the MayflowerCome on the ship that sails the moonWe come in the age's most uncertain hoursAnd sing an American tuneOh but it's alright, it's alrightCan't be forever blessedStill tomorrow's gonna be another working dayAnd I try to get some restThat's all I'm trying, to get some rest
