Kansas Carry On My Wayward Son Lyrics

Carry On My Wayward Son Lyrics

{Refrain
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 mad man
I
hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them
say

{Refrain

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is
the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
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

{Refrain
No!

Carry on,
you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center
lights around your vanity
But 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)
