Kansas - Carry On Lyrics

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 can hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear 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

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
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

No, 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

  This song imparts a lot of wisdom for living your life.Be persistent throughout the struggles life may bring to you...carry on and dont let the valleys deter you from getting there.The one line that describes the way I approach life(one of egocentric ways)is..."if I claim to be a wise man it surely means that I dont know..."...Wow! Be grounded and humble because someone who thinks they know everything and cant learn anything else or nobody can tell me what to do 'cause I'm the man, is in for a big fall!
