Carry on, my wayward son <br />There'll be peace when you are done <br />Lay your weary head to rest <br />Don't you cry no more <br /><br />Once, I rose above the noise and confusion <br />Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion <br />I was soaring ever higher <br />But I flew too high <br /><br />Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man <br />Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man <br />I hear the voices when I'm dreaming <br />I can hear them say <br /><br />Carry on, my wayward son <br />There'll be peace when you are done <br />Lay your weary head to rest <br />Don't you cry no more <br /><br />Masquerading as a man with a reason <br />My charade is the event of the season <br />And if I claim to be a wise man, well <br />It surely means that I don't know <br /><br />On a stormy sea of moving emotion <br />Tossed about like a ship on the ocean <br />I set a course for winds of fortune <br />But I hear the voices say <br /><br />Carry on, my wayward son <br />There'll be peace when you are done <br />Lay your weary head to rest <br />Don't you cry no more (no!) <br /><br />(Carry on) you will always remember <br />(Carry on) nothing equals the splendor <br />Now your life's no longer empty <br />Surely Heaven waits for you <br /><br />Carry on, my wayward son <br />There'll be peace when you are done <br />Lay your weary head to rest <br />Don't you cry, don't you cry no more! <br /><br />No more!
