American Tune

Many is the time I’ve been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes and I’ve fallen down forsaken

And certainly misused

Oh but I’m alright, I’m alright

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, mm-hmm

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, oh-oh

But it’s alright, it’s alright

But we’ve lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the road we’re travelling on

I wonder what’s gone wrong

I can’t help but I wonder

What’s going wrong

And I dreamed I was dying

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

Looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

I dreamed I was flying

High up above

My eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

Dreamed I was flying

But we come on a ship they called the Mayflower

We come on a ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hours

And sang an American tune, uh-oh-oh

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow’s going to be another working day

And I’m trying to get some rest

But that’s all, I’m trying to get some rest

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow’s going to be another working day

And I’m trying to get some rest

That’s all, I’m trying to get some rest
