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 can 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 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 no more |

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the signs They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of Know Return?" Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the Point of Know Return?" Well, how long? Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It said that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long How long to the Point of Know Return |

There's a hole in the wall
With a light shining in And it's letting me know to get up It's time to begin Oh there is nothing to lose 'Cause it's already lost In a runaway world Of confusion I'm gonna take it That's why I fight fire with fire Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin' Fire with fire I don't want to lose this flamin' desire Standing alone In a crowded room I can feel a chill in the air I'm shakin' I'm miles away I want to cry out loud I want to fight till the end I won't let 'em take me alive And you know I'll fight fire with fire Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin' Fire with fire 'Cause I'm never gonna lose this flamin' desire |

I close my eyes
Only for a moment And the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes a curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see Dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind Don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away All your money wouldn't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind Everything is dust in the wind |

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 |

Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see What have the years of your life Taught you to be Innocence dyin' in so many ways Things that you dream of are lost Lost in the haze Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause it's closer than you think And you're standing on the brink Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause there's something on the way Your tomorrow's not the same as today Don't you recall what you felt When you weren't alone Someone who stood by your side A face you have known Where do you run when it's too much to bear Who do you turn to in need When nobody's there Outside your door He is waiting Waiting for you Sooner or later you know He's got to get through No hesitation and no holding back Let it all go and you'll know You're on the right track Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause it's closer than you think And you're standing on the brink Hold on, baby, hold on 'Cause there's something on the way Your tomorrow's not the same as today |

Centuries of backward ways
Have many left behind us Who can count the good men gone away The fruits of all our labours Have left us as we started We've come to far to end it in a day It seems that everything we do is wrong A one-way trip to nowhere all along Just look around and tell me what you see Another stupid page of history No one together No one is touching ground Look at each other Chaos is all around Same situation Nothing is really new No one together No one is me and you Lo! the horn of plenty Is bursting at the seams The harvest of the world will be our prize We claim to know the secrets The answers have been found But how can one fool make another wise There's nothing better than it used to be To live and die is still a mystery We take away and we give nothing back We just consume it all and still we lack No one together No one is touching ground Look at each other Chaos is all around Same situation Nothing is really new No one together No one is me and you Each day passes by us So quickly now You can feel is drawing much closer now The signs are in the faces Of the people in the streets The signs are in the sounds I hear Their voices filled with pain and fear You can feel it drawing near you now The multitudes are searching And wondering in vain For what they seek cannot be found in men The truth that lies before us now is plain for all to see To grow without is not to grow within For in the promise is a victory To see the way that everything should be To feel the joy that we were meant to know We should've realized so long ago We're all together Harmony will abound Look at each other All that was lost is found New situation If our directions to We're all together Everyone is me and you |

You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life But it's only what you're hearing Will you still remember When the morning light has come Will the songs be playing over and over Till you do it all over again Play, play the game tonight Can you tell me if it's wrong or right It is worth the time, is it worth the price Do you see yourself in a white spotlight Then play the game tonight And when the curtains open To the roaring of the crowd You will feel it all around you Then it finally happens And it's all come true for you And the songs are playing over and over Till you do it over again |

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss |

I've so much to say, and yet I cannot speak
Come and do my bidding now for I have grown too weak My weary eyes have seen all that life can give Come to me, O young one, for you I can forgive I stood where no man goes, and conquered demon foes With glory and passion no longer in fashion The hero breaks his blade Cast this shadow long that I may hide my face And in this cloak of darkness the world I will embrace In all that I endure, of one thing I am sure Knowledge and reason change like the season A jester's promenade Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring The mark of Cain is on our faces, borne of suffering O, I long to hear you say it's not been wrong I stand before you now, a riddle in my song The answer is that sweet refrain Unheard it always will remain Beyond our reach, beyond our gain Trapped in life's parade, a king without a crown In this joy of madness, my smile might seem a frown With talons wrought of steel, I tore the heart of doom And in one gleaming moment I saw beyond the tomb I stood where no man goes, above the din I rose Life is amusing though we are losing Drowned in tears of awe. |

I've got books that say the good man's golden
And more that say the bad will fall, So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall Don't take the devil's dare, don't gamble when the game ain't fair, Lock and bolt the doors, can't let the devil use you anymore You got to listen all you mugs and reivers, if you do any wrong You make it right You can't be a make-believer, 'cause soon you're gonna pay the price, Lying, hate and pain, all part of the devil game, Got his foot inside the door, but you can't let him use you anymore Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take, he will take He will take, he will give nothing but he'll take Pray, for devils have no reason, Satan waits to curse your ways, Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset, Have you wondered if he's laughing when you play, Has he asked if you're alone if what he sees is all you own, Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays Satan leave me, leave me lonely, leave us alone I've got books that say the good man's golden And more that say the bad will fall, Take a look at what the future's holdin', Won't be yours if you don't heed this call, Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same. Now you've gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again |

Once carried through the current
And being swept away The king is in the closet He's hiding from today And though he owns all fortunes This room is where he'll stay And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey Gazing out the window Of the 42nd second floor He is separate from all others No one knocks upon his door And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes And his ears will never hear the children's cries Once proud and full of passion He fought the cause of man Many people loved his courage Many followed his command He changed the old into the new And the course of things to come And then one day they noticed he was gone At first it didn't matter Nobody seemed to care They all became too busy To find him anywhere So no one knew not even him The problems he would find On the day he journeyed deep into his mind I close my eyes I go far away Away from this battlefield In my dreams well here I will enjoy it Where innocence plays with all the laughing children The kind who are crying right now A taste of freedom from the pain Of everything here I see Life is sweet but I took it all for granted And now I don't know if I could even tell you Just what we permit, we allow Allow me to forget the life I've made my own I've held this nation in my hand And yet it's not my home Allow me just one answer just one reason why Why this refugee of the family of man must die Tell me why Daydreams filled his nighttimes And night dreams filled his days Confusion and uncertainty A puzzled mind of haze You thought he was so powerful And set upon his ways Well he left us all to travel through this maze I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead And with him died the chronicles That no one ever read The closet's fully empty now It's occupied by none I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done |
