N.C.
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 ab

             
ove 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 s

           
till was a bli

nd man
           
Though my mind

             
 could think I

           
 still was a m

ad man
           
I hear the voi

             
ces when I'm d


reaming
           
I can hear the

  
m say


[Chorus]

          
Carry on my wa

      
yward son
           
There'll be pe

         
ace when you a

re done
           
Lay your weary

 
 head to rest

Don't you cry 

no more


[Verse 2]

           
Masquerading a

             
s a man with a

 
 reason
           
My charade is 

             
the event of t

   
he season
           
And if I claim

            
 to be a wise 

         
man
           
It surely mean

              
s that I don't

 
 know
           
On a stormy se

           
a of moving em

otion
           
Tossed about I

             
'm like a ship

        
 on the ocean
           
I set sail for

            
 winds of fort

        
une
           
But I hear the

        
 voices say


[Chorus]

          
Carry on my wa

      
yward son
           
There'll be pe

         
ace when you a

re done
           
Lay your weary

 
 head to rest

Don't you cry 

no more


[Bridge]

Am (mute)
Carry on
             
You will alway

  
s remember
Am (mute)
Carry on
             
Nothing equals

     
 the splendor
           
Now your life'

            
s no longer em

      
pty
           
Surely Heaven 

          
waits for you


[Chorus/Outro]

          
Carry on my wa

      
yward son
           
There'll be pe

         
ace when you a

re done
           
Lay your weary

 
 head to rest

Don't you cry 

no more
