Carry On Wayward Son

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

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.

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

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.

“The world seemed to me as a young child, so beautiful and majestic.

But my heart was crushed by your agenda, made it frigid and antiseptic.

I screamed just to see if I existed, a blanket of silence surrounds me,

I crawl into my sanctum, toss a key and shut the door around me.”

“Every day I live to see the sunrise, to give me hope eternal.

I have a spiritual hunger, I need to feed my soul.

I look for the key that I discarded, and open the door wide.

Now it's time to take that first step out, and let the light inside.”

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

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.
