Текст песни American Tune - Kurt Elling

Many's the time I've been mistaken
The many times confused
Yes, and I've often 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

And 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 its knees

Oh, but it's alright, it's alright
'Cause we have lived so well, so long
Still, when I think of the road
We're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone 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

And from high above, my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

And we come on the ship, they call 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, and it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
You cannot be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
