"American Tune" lyrics

Many's the time I've been mistaken
Many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused

Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
So far away from home
So far away from home

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
For we've 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's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying
And 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, 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, and it's all right, all right
We can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
Oh, Lord
I'm trying to get some rest
