American Tune |
| Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken |
| And many times confused |
| Yes, and I’ve often felt 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 bon vivant |
| So far a-way 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 has 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 a-ge's most uncertain hours |
| and sing an American tune |
| Oh, and it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright |
| 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 |
