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
Ahhhhhhh....
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 hen
Though my mind could think I still was a mad hen
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 mouse with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
If I claim to be a wise mouse, surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
Set course for the 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 moreeee)
No moreeee
Trivia[]
- Some of the lyrics in the song are slightly changed to accustom to the band's species. Such as the lyric (from the original) "Masquerading as a man with a reason", being changed to "Masquerading as a mouse with a reason", due to Chuck E.'s species being a mouse.
