That one always comes to mind when I get really pensive and contemplative:<br /><br /><i><br />Many's, the time I'v been mistaken<br />And many times confused<br />Yes, and often felt forsaken<br />And certainly misused<br />But I'm all right, I'm all right<br />I'm just weary to my bones<br />Still, you don't expect to be<br />Bright and bon vivant<br />So far away from home, so far away Irom home<br /><br />And I don't know a soul who's not been battered<br />I don't have a friend who feels at ease<br />I don't know a dream that's not been shattered<br />or driven to its knees<br />But it's all right, it's all right<br />We've lived so well so long<br />Still, when I think of the road<br />we're traveling on<br />I wonder what went wrong<br />I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong<br /><br />And I dreamed I was dying<br />And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly<br />And looking back down at me<br />Smiled reassunngly<br />And I dreamed I was flying<br />And high up above my eyes could clearly see<br />The Statue of Liberty<br />Sailing away to sea<br />And I dreamed I was flying<br /><br />We come on the ship they call the Mayflower<br />We come on the ship that sailed the moon<br />We come in the age's most uncertain hour<br />and sing an American tune<br />But it's all right, it's all right<br />You can't be forever blessed<br />Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day<br />And I'm trying to get some rest<br />That's all I'm trying to get some rest<br /><br /></i><br /><br />http://retroawesomeness.blogspot.com/Lazlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037087843637735080noreply@blogger.com
