I wore out this groove on my vinyl copy. No, that’s not figurative language. That track is unplayable now I loved it so much. I love how the singer changes the lyrics to fit the African-American experience. I hope you love this version.These lyrics are for our time now.\u00a0 We have strayed so far from our best lights. We are not alright, not alright, and I wonder what’s gone wrong.<\/p>\n

Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I’ve often felt forsaken
And certainly misused<\/div>\n
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<\/div>\n
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<\/div>\n
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 has gone wrong<\/div>\n
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly<\/div>\n
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<\/div>\n
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<\/div>\n
Oh, and it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
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<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
