Kansas – Carry on Wayward Son Lyrics 15 years ago
I have a theory
as some of you will know this song is used as 'The Road So Far' recap song in "Supernatural". Knowing a lot about it, i have found (along with many fans) how the lyrics connect so much to the series.

The series is about two brothers (Sam and Dean) who were raised by their father to hunt the supernatural (demons, spirits etc.). This was because their mother was killed by a demon when the boys were very young. The series pretty much begins with their father going missing, and the two boys fight their way towards finding him. Unfortunatley, when the boys find their father, they are only with him a couple of weeks before he dies (long story). It was their father's dying wish that the boys would continue to hunt evil, and so 5 years later they are still.

So, i find that the chorus lyrics -

"Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are gone
lay your weary head to rest
don't you cry no more"




sound s lot like something the boys' father would say to them (Dean especially since he was more loyal)

i guess it could be a little religoius, going into the season 4 and 5 when the angels are introduced
