Carry On Wayward Son

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
 Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
 I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
 I can hear them say
 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
 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 the stormy sea of moving emotion
 Tossed about them like a ship on the ocean
 I set a course for winds of fortune
 But I hear the voices say
 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
 The world seemed to me as a young child
 So beautiful and majestic
 But my heart was crushed by your agenda
 Made it frigid and antiseptic
 I screamed just to see if I existed
 A blanket of silence surrounds me,
 I crawl into my inner sanctum
 Toss the key and shut the door around me
 Every day I wait to see the sun rise
 To give me hope eternal
 I have a spiritual hunger
 I need to feed my soul
 I look for the key that I discarded
 And I open the door wide
 Now it's time for me to take that first step out
 And let the light inside.
 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 no more
