Kurt Elling - American Tune lyrics

VERSE ONE Many is the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes and I've also felt forsaken And certainly misused 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 VERSE TWO I don't know a soul who'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 Or driven to it's knees But it's alright It's alright 'cos we have lived so well so long Still when I think about the road we're travelling on I wonder what's gone wrong I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong BRIDGE And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down at me smiled rea**uringly And I dreamed I was flying And from high up above my eyes could clearly see the 'Statue of Liberty' Sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying VERSE FOUR And we come on the ship they call 'Mayflower' We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the Ages most uncertain hour And we sing an American tune Oh but it's alright 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 just trying To get some rest
