Carry On Wayward Son


Carry on my wayward son,
there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest,
don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,
just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher,
but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man,
though my mind could think I still was a madman
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming,
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest,
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason,
My charade is the event of the season,
and if I claim to be a wise man,
it surely means that I don't know

On the stormy seas of moving emotion,
tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune,
but I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest,
Don't you cry no more

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest,
(Don't you cry) Don't you cry no more
