0:04There'll be peace when you are done
0:08Lay your weary head to rest
0:12Don't you cry no more
1:09Once I rose above the noise and confusion
1:13Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
1:16I was soaring ever higher
1:21But I flew too high
1:24Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
1:28Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
1:32I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
1:36I can hear them say
1:40Carry on my wayward son
1:43There'll be peace when you are done
1:47Lay your weary head to rest
1:51Don't you cry no more
2:04Masquerading as a man with a reason
2:08My charade is the event of the season
2:12And if I claim to be a wise man well
2:15It surely means that I don't know
2:19On a stormy sea of moving emotion
2:23Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
2:27I set a course for winds of fortune
2:31But I hear the voices say
2:34Carry on my wayward son
2:38There'll be peace when you are done
2:42Lay your weary head to rest
2:46Don't you cry no more no
3:46You will always remember
3:50Nothing equals the splendor
3:53Now your life's no longer empty
3:57But surely heaven waits for you
4:00Carry on my wayward son
4:04There'll be peace when you are done
4:08Lay your weary head to rest
4:12Don't you cry don't you cry no more
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 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 well
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
You will always remember
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
But 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 don't you cry no more
