Carry on, my wayward sonThere’ll be peace when you are doneLay your weary head to restDon’t you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusionJust to get a glimpse beyond this illusionI was soaring ever higherBut I flew too highThough my eyes could see, I still was a blind manThough my mind could think, I still was a mad manI hear the voices when I’m dreamingI can hear them say
Carry on, my wayward sonThere’ll be peace when you are doneLay your weary head to restDon’t you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reasonMy charade is the event of the seasonAnd if I claim to be a wise man, wellIt surely means that I don’t knowOn a stormy sea of moving emotionTossed about, I’m like a ship on the oceanI set a course for winds of fortuneBut I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward sonThere’ll be peace when you are doneLay your weary head to restDon’t you cry no more, no
Carry on, you will always rememberCarry on, nothing equals the splendorNow your life’s no longer emptySurely heaven waits for you
Carry on, my wayward sonThere’ll be peace when you are doneLay your weary head to restDon’t you cry, don’t you cry no more
