American Tune

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
 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
 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
 In a dream 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 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
