Carry On Wayward Son
Kansas (2) Lyrics

Carry on my wayward son
Continue your journey, my lost son

For there'll be peace when you are done
You will find peace when your journey is over

Lay your weary head to rest
Rest your tired head and let go of your worries

Don't you cry no more
Stop shedding tears, my son

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
I emerged from the chaos and clamor

Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I sought for a glimpse of reality beyond deception

I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
I was climbing to greater heights, but I reached too far

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Even though I saw, I was still blind to the truth

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
Even though I had thoughts, I was still crazy

I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say
I hear voices in my dreams telling me something

Masquerading as a man with a reason
Pretending to be a logical man

My charade is the event of the season
My act is the talk of the town

And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
If I say I'm wise, it just means I'm ignorant

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
In a turbulent sea of feelings

Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
Thrown around like a ship in the water

I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say
I aimed for good luck, but I still hear those voices

Carry on, you will always remember
Continue, for you will always remember this moment

Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Go forth, for nothing compares to the magnificence of your journey

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

Surely heaven waits for you
Undoubtedly, heaven is waiting for you
