Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many time confused
Many's the time i've felt forsaken
And certainly abused
But it's alright, it's alright
You can be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
I just got to get some rest
I've got to get some rest

I don't know a soul who has not been battered
Don't have a friends who feels at ease
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to it's knees
Oh, but it's alright, it's alright
We've 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 age's most uncertain hours
And sing the American tune
Oh but it's alright, it's alright
Can't be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
I've just got to get some rest
I just got to get some rest
