Carry On Wayward Son

[hkellick]

I dunno why, but I've always liked these song lyrics. Something about them resonates in me... :)


(Chorus)
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.

Ah....
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the 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 dreamin',
I can hear them say...

(Chorus)

Masquerading as a man with a reason,
My charade is the event of the season.
And if I claim to be a wise man, 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...

(Chrorus)
(Guitar Solo)

Carry on! You will always remember.
Carry on! Nothing equals the splendor.
Now your life's no longer empty.
Surely heaven waits for you!

(Chorus)
