American Tune

[Verse 1] Many's the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Many's the time I've been forsaken And certainly abused But it's all right, it's all right You can't be forever blessed When I think of another working day I've just got to get some rest I've got to get some rest [Verse 2] I don't know a soul who's not been battered Don't have a friend who feels at ease Don't know a dream that's not been shattered Or driven to its knees Oh but it's all right, it's all right We've lived so well so long And when I think of the road we've travelled on So far away from home So far away from home [Bridge] And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down on 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 [Verse 3] 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 we sing an American tune Oh, but it's all right, it's all right You can't be forever blessed And when I think of another working day I've just got to get some rest I've got to get some rest
