Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times
confusedYes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly
misusedOh but I'm alright I'm alright just weary to my
bonesStill you don't expect to be bright and bon vivantSo
far away from home so 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 shattered or
driven to its kneesOh but it's alright it's alright
for we've lived so well so longStill when I think of the
road we're traveling on I wonder what's gone wrongI
can't help it I wonder what's gone wrongAnd I dreamed
I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedlyLooking back
down at me smiled reassuredlyI dreamed I was flying high 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
Mayflower come on the ship that sails the moonWe come in the
age's most uncertain hours and sing an American tuneOh but
it's alright it's alright can't be forever
blessedStill tomorrow's gonna be another working day and
I'm trying to get some restThat's all I'm trying
to get some rest[ guitar ]
