Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son (Offiical Video)

For my first Music Interlude song this morning, I selected a song by Kansas titled Carry On Wayward Son", an Official Music VIdeo, from back in the day... This Music VIdeo has received some 18,328,229 views over the years, so I'd say it is a pretty popular group and song!

This song is from Leftoverture, which is the fourth studio album by Kansas. It was released in 1976 and remains the band's best-selling album, having been certified 6x platinum in the US.

LYRICS:

"Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas

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!
