People say I'm crazy
and they say that I'm insane
But everything was lost
and I had everything to gain And it all became a song
the one I waited for so long
just to play
Something in the air that makes the
feeling so complete
I'm living as a warrior
that can never know defeat
And the battle rages on
'Til the brightness of the sun is gone
gone away
(chorus)
Look on high, to the hill
To the place where
time stood still
Then you'll see there's no returning
From a heart where love is burning
How can men hope to hide
blinded by their pride
A day is like a thousand years
and a thousand like a day
You're questioning the reason and
you're hoping for delay
But it always comes out right
And it's coming like a thief at night
steal away
(chorus)
On the dark horizon rose
the light of a different day
Spreading over all the world
to show the living way
And it makes it all so clear
If you open up your ears and hear
now I say
(chorus)
(C) 1984 Don Kirshner Music/

Look on high, to the hill
To the place where time stood still
Then you'll see there's no returning
From a heart where love is burning
How can men hope to hide
blinded by their pride
Carry on my wayward son,
For 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 the 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 dreamin', I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son,
For 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,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
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,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
