"Carry On, Wayward Son"

Don't you love how sometimes you randomly pick a song to listen to, and it portrays just how you feel? This morning, I put on one of my "random" CDs, meaning it could have Evanescence, Sheryl Crow, 702, all the way to Kansas and back. What can I say, I like different styles of music, and I never know what music mood I'll be in, so I have several CDs that have several styles in one.
Anyway, I LOVE this song. People attribute many different meanings to it. It ranges from a spiritual quest to soldiers in war to people dying of a terminal illness. However you interpret this song, the ultimate message is HOPE. HOPE for the weary. HOPE for the distraught. HOPE for the confused. HOPE for all.
Here are the words. May you all feel more hopeful after reading this blog.
Love to all! ^_^
PS--thanx to Jonathan Root for introducing this song to me years ago in the Admissions Office. ^_^

Carry on Wayward Son Lyrics
Artist(Band):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

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 dreamin', 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, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed around 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

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
