CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON . . . . . .KANSAS

    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 . . . [Riff]
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
Through my eyes I saw I still was a blind man
Through my mind I thought I still was a mad man
I heard the voices I was dreaming . . And I head 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 . . . [Riff]
Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade was the event of the season
And if I claimed to be a wise man, It surely meant that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I was a ship on the ocean
I set sail for winds of fortune But I heard 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 . . [Riffs & Solos]
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 .[Riff]
