Ahhhh
[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
[Instrumental]

[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, well
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
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
No!

[Bridge]
Carry on, you
will always re
member
Carry on, noth
ing equals the
splendor
Now your life'
s no longer em
pty
But surely hea
ven waits for
you
[Chorus]
Carry on my wa
yward son
There'll be pe
ace when you a
re done
Lay your weary
head to rest
N.C.
Don't you cry
Don'
t you cry no m
ore
