Man-y's the time I've been mis-tak-en
And man-y times con-fused.
Yes, and I've of-ten felt for-sak-en
And cer-tain-ly mis-used
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just wea-ry to my bones
Still, you don't ex-pect to be
Bright and bon vi-vant
So far a-way from home,
so far a-way from home
I don't know a soul
who's not been bat-tered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's
not been shat-tered
or driv-en to its knees
Oh, but it's all right, it's all right
for we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
road we're trav-'ling on
I won-der what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I won-der what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dy-ing
I dreamed that my soul rose un-ex-pect-ed-ly
And look-ing back down at me
Smiled re-as-sur-ing-ly
And I dreamed I was fly-ing
And high up a-bove my eyes could clear-ly see
The Sta-tue of Lib-er-ty
Sail-ing a-way to sea
And I dreamed I was fly-ing
We come on the ship they call the May-flower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the a-ge's most un-cer-tain hours
and sing an A-mer-i-can tune
Oh, and it's al-right, it's all right,
it's all right
You can't be for-ev-er blessed
Still, to-mor-row's go-ing to be
An-oth-er work-ing day
And I'm try-ing to get some rest
That's all I'm try-ing to get some rest
