At the zoo

Many´s the time I´ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I´m all right, I´m all right
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
But it´s all right, it´s all right
For we´ve 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
For 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
And it´s all right, it´s all right
You can´t 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
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I´m all right, I´m all right
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
But it´s all right, it´s all right
For we´ve 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
For 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
And it´s all right, it´s all right
You can´t 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
