American Tune |
| Many of the time I’ve been mistaken |
| And many times confused |
| Yes I’ve fallen down forsaken |
| And certainly misused |
| Oh but I’m alright I’m alright |
| I’m just weary to my bones |
| Still you don’t expect to be bright and born divine |
| So far away from home |
| So far away from home |
| I don’t know a soul who’s not been better |
| I don’t have a friend who feels at ease |
| I don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered |
| Oh driven to its knees oh |
| But it’s alright it’s alright |
| But we’ve lived so well so long |
| Still when I think of the road we’re travelling on |
| I wonder what’s gone wrong |
| I can’t help but wonder |
| What’s gone wrong |
| And I dreamed I was dying |
| I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly |
| Looking back down at me |
| Smiled assuredly |
| I dreamed I was flying |
| High up above my eyes could clearly see |
| The statue of Liberty sailing away to see |
| Dreamed I was flying |
| But we come on a ship they call the Mayflower |
| We come on a ship that sailed the moon |
| We come in the hates most uncertain hours |
| And sang an American tune oh |
| It’s alright 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 |
| But that’s all I’m trying to get some rest |
| It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright |
| You can be forever blessed |
| Still tomorrows gonna be another working day |
| And I’m trying to get some rest |
| That’s all I’m trying to get some rest |
