Carry on Wayward Son Lyrics
Carry on my wayward son,
For 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 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
Carry on my wayward son,
For 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 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
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
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,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

You don't remember, I'll never forget
"Once I rose above the noise and confusion ,etc....to My eyes could see but I still was a blind man," etc ....
That first verse sums up the complexities of this world and the life we live and how we try to make sense of it all so we can learn live and love
And "carry on my wayward son" also reminds me of the love of my life and how he /we were often perplexed, yet everything was so clear while we were together in this life ....
Such great lyrics that reflect a multitude of emotions!
