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

Verse 1
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
Chorus
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
N.C.
Don't you cry no more

Verse 2
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
Chorus
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
N.C.
Don't you cry no more

Bridge
Em N.C.
Carry on
You will always remember
Em N.C.
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely Heaven waits for you
Chorus
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
N.C. Bm7
Don't you cry {vocal echo: Don't you cry} no more
