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

                                             
      I don't know a soul who's not been battered
                                        
      don't have a friend that's feels at ease
                                                                 
     I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
                                                             
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
                                              
     Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
                                                            
     I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

		                      
                 And I dreamed I was dying...
                                                    
		 I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                                                           
		 And looking back down on 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....


                                            
     For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
                                       
     We come on the ship that sailed the moon
                                                            
     We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
                                                            
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't 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
