[Verse 1] Manys the time Ive been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and Ive often felt forsaken And certainly misused Oh, but Im alright, Im alright Just weary to my bones Still you dont expect to be bright and bon vivant So far away from home So far away from home [Verse 2] I dont know a soul whos not been battered Dont have a friend who feels at ease I dont know a dream thats not been shattered Or driven to its knees Oh, but its alright, its alright For weve lived so well so long Still when I think of the road were travelin on I wonder whats gone wrong I cant help it, I wonder whats gone wrong [Verse 3] And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly Looking back down at me, smiled reassuredly I dreamed I was flying High up above, my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying [Verse 4] We come on the ship they call the Mayflower Come on the ship that sails the moon We come in the ages most uncertain hours And sing an American tune Oh, but its alright, its alright Cant be forever blessed Still tomorrows gonna be another working day And I try to get some rest Thats all Im trying, to get some rest [Outro Guitar Solo]
alright, dreamed, reassuredly, vivant, ship
