Carry On Wayward Son (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Josh West

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 

Ah 

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! 

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, 

Don't you cry no more, 

No more!
