American Tune lyrics

Many`s the time I`ve been mistaken, and many times confused
Yes and I`ve often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I`m alright, I`m alright, I`m just weary thru my bones
Still you don`t expect to be bright and bon-vivant
So far away 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 live 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, 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

But we come on a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages` most uncertain hours and sing an American tune
And it`s alright, oh it`s alright, it`s alright, you can be forever blessed
Still tomorrow`s gonna be another working day and I`m trying to get some rest
That`s all I`m trying, to get some rest
