American Tune - Starland Vocal Band

Many's the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused Oh, 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 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 For we 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 high up 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 The Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hours And sing an American tune Oh, and 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 trying to get some rest

Many's the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused Oh but I'm alright, I'm alright 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 Don't know a soul who has not been battered 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 For we've lived so well so long Still when I think of the road we're travelin' 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 Looking back down at me, smiled reassuredly I dreamed I was flying 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 the Mayflower Come on the ship that sails the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hours And sing an American tune Oh but it's alright, it's alright Can't be forever blessed Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day And I try to get some rest That's all I'm trying, to get some rest

How sweet to hold a new born baby And feel the pride and the joy that He gaves So but greater still the calm assurance We can face uncertain days because He lives And because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth a living, just because He lives And then one day I'll cross that river I'll fight life's final war with pain And then, as death gives way to victory I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns Because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth a living, just because He lives He lives He lives

I sense an awesome moving of the Holy Spirit And I see His countenance resting on your face I know that there are angels hovering all around us For the presence of the Lord is in this place He is here, Hallelujah! He is here, Amen! He is here, Holy, Holy I will bless His name again He is here, listen closely Hear Him calling out your name He is here, you can touch Him You will never be the same I searched for peace among the shadows, dark and lonely Gave up on finding that strong and lasting love I tasted all the things that sin could fear to offer me But today I feast on manna from above He is here, Hallelujah He is here, Amen He is here, Holy, Holy I will bless His name again He is here, listen closely Hear Him calling out your name He is here, you can touch Him You will never be the same He is here, Hallelujah He is here, Amen He is here, Holy, Holy I will bless His name again He is here, listen closely Hear Him calling out your name He is here, you can touch Him You will never be the same He is here, you can touch Him And you will never be the same He is here, Hallelujah He is here, Amen He is here, Holy, Holy I will bless His name again He is here
