[Chorus]
Carry on my wa
yward son, Th
ere'll be peac
e when you are
done
Lay your weary
head to rest,
don't you c
ry no more
[Verse 1]
Once I rose ab
ove the noise
and confusion
Just to get a
glimpse beyond
the illusion
I was soaring
ever higher, b
ut 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
reamin', I can
hear them say
[Chorus]
Carry on my wa
yward son, Th
ere'll be peac
e when you are
done
Lay your weary
head to rest,
don't you c
ry 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 a course
for winds of
fortune, but I
hear the voic
es say
[Chorus]
Carry on my wa
yward son, Th
ere'll be peac
e when you are
done
Lay your weary
head to rest,
don't you c
ry no more
[Verse 3]
Carry on, you
will always re
member
Carry on, noth
ing equals the
splendor
Now your life'
s no longer em
pty
Surely heaven
waits for you
[Ending Chorus]
Carry on my wa
yward son, Th
ere'll be peac
e when you are
done
Lay your weary
head to rest,
don't you c
ry no more
