Lyrics:

(KERRY LIVGREN)

CHORUS
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

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 DREAMIN', I CAN HEAR THEM SAY

CHORUS

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, YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
CARRY ON, NOTHING EQUALS THE SPLENDOR
NOW YOUR LIFE'S NO LONGER EMPTY
SURELY HEAVEN WAITS FOR YOU

CHORUS
