Many's the time I've been mistaken...
Edited on Tue Jan-18-05 12:14 PM by Modem Butterfly
And many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Ah but I'm right
I'm all right
Still you can'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 that'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
And driven to its knees
Ah but it's all right
It's all right it's all right
For we lived so well so long
Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what went wrong
I can't help it I wonder
What went 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
High up above my eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was 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 sing an American tune
Oh it's all right
It's all right
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

2. It's gotten me through a lot of hard times
It just seemed appropriate today somehow.
