Carry On My Wayward Son Lyrics

Carry On My Wayward Son

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the
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
mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them
say

Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are
done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now 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 a stormy sea 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, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the
splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
