Carry on my wayward son...

[realisticphish]

this song has been stuck in my head all day.

{Refrain}
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

Ahhhh....

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}

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
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)

4. I listened to "Two for the Show" by Kansas on my way to work!

My favorites are Song for America, Borne on Wings of Steel, Carry on My Wayward Son and The Wall. kansas was a very underrated and underappreciated band. Check out this CD if you get a chance.

11. I could never really get into Kansas BUT...

... I ended up buying their "Best Of" CD. This song along with "Dust in the Wind" are a couple of my favorite classic rock songs. "Point of No Return" is pretty good too.

15. Here are the lyrics to a song about the rape of America...

Song for America

Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains,
here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain,
here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights

Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night,
here all life abounds
Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright,
here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights

So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore
Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door
Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and honey for our pleasure.....

Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave
Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave
Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder
Chop the forest, plow it under.....

Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around
Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around
So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise,
Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise.

[Frogtutor]
