Don't Cry For Me Argentina
David Jaggs Lyrics

Carry on my wayward son
Continue on your journey, even if it's difficult

There'll be peace when you are done
You will find peace or rest once you've completed your journey

Lay your weary head to rest
Take a break and rest, you deserve it

Don't you cry no more
Don't be sad, everything will be alright

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
I managed to overcome the chaos and distractions

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
To see what's beyond the surface or facade

I was soaring ever higher
I was experiencing success or progress

But I flew too high
I went too far or became too proud

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Even though I had knowledge or experience, I was still ignorant or unaware

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Even though I had the ability to reason, I was still irrational or insane

I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I have preoccupations or concerns that affect my subconscious

I can hear them say
They repeat themselves in my mind

Masquerading as a man with a reason
Pretending to have a motive for my actions

My charade is the event of the season
My facade is attracting attention or admiration

And if I claim to be a wise man, well
If I state that I'm knowledgeable or intelligent, then

It surely means that I don't know
It's probably the opposite or not entirely true

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
I'm experiencing intense or unstable feelings

Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I feel lost or directionless, like I'm being carried by the waves

I set a course for winds of fortune
I aimed for success or good luck

But I hear the voices say
But my concerns or anxieties persist

Carry on my wayward son
Continue on your journey, even if it's difficult

There'll be peace when you are done
You will find peace or rest once you've completed your journey

Lay your weary head to rest
Take a break and rest, you deserve it

Don't you cry no more
Don't be sad, everything will be alright

Carry on, you will always remember
Keep going, because you'll always have memories of your efforts

Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Continue on, because there's nothing that compares to the beauty or greatness of your journey

Now your life's no longer empty
Your life is now full or meaningful

Surely heaven waits for you
A reward or joyous experience is waiting for you

Carry on my wayward son
Continue on your journey, even if it's difficult

There'll be peace when you are done
You will find peace or rest once you've completed your journey

Lay your weary head to rest
Take a break and rest, you deserve it

Don't you cry no more
Don't be sad, everything will be alright
