 * Lyrics:** {Refrain

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

{Refrain

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

{Refrain No!

Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor The center lights around your vanity 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)
