Kansas — Carry On Wayward Son

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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, no [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty But surely heaven waits for you [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo Outro] No more
