Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace
when you are done
Lay your wea ry head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Ah Once I rose ab ove
the noise and con fu sion
Just to get a glimpse
bey ond this il lu sion
I was soar ing ev er hig her
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 voi ces
when I'm drea min'
I can hear them say
Car ry on my way ward son
There'll be peace
when you are done
Lay your wea ry head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Mas que ra ding as a man
with a rea son
My char ade is the
eve nt of the sea son
And if I claim to
be a wise man
Well it sure ly means
that I don't know
On a stor my sea of
mov ing em ot ion
Tossed ab out
I'm like a ship on the oce an
I set a course for
winds of for tune
But I hear the voic es say
Car ry on my way ward son
There'll be peace
when you are done
Lay your wea ry head to rest
Don't you cry no more
no You will al ways re mem ber
Not hing equ als the splen dor
Now your life's no lon ger emp ty
Sure ly hea ven waits for you
Car ry on my way ward son
There'll be peace
when you are done
Lay your wea ry head to rest
Don't you cry
no more no more
