{Refrain
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


I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I can hear them say




{Refrain


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



{Refrain

No!





Carry on, you will always remember

Carry on, nothing equals the splendor

Now your life's no longer empty

Surely heaven waits for you







{Refrain
