''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 

Ahhhh.... 

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

Carry on, you will always remember 
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor 
Now your life's no longer empty 
Surely heaven waits for you 

Carry on my wayward son 
There'll be peace when you are done 
Lay your weary head to rest 
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)
