{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 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 I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
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
No! Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you {Refrain
