Lyrics:

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
For there`ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now 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
Now 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
But 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
