Manys the time Ive been mistaken
And many time confused
Manys the time ive felt forsaken
And certainly abused
But its alright, its alright
You can be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
I just got to get some rest
Ive got to get some rest
I dont know a soul who has not been battered
Dont have a friends who feels at ease
Dont know a dream thats not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh, but its alright, its alright
Weve lived so well so long
And when I think of the road we traveled on
So far away from home
So far away from home
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
Looking back down at me, smiled reassuredly
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
We come on the ship they call mayflower
Come on a ship that sail the moon
We come in the ages most uncertain hours
And sing the American tune
Oh but its alright, its alright
Cant be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
Ive just got to get some rest
I just got to get some rest
