[Verse 1]
[Am]Once I rose [Em]above
the [F]noise and con[G]fusion
[Am]Just to get [Em]a glimpse beyond [F]this illusio[G]n
[Dm]I was soar[C]ing ever highe[Bb]r[C]
[Dm]But I flew[C] too high[G]
[Am]Though my eyes[Em] could see,
I [F]still was a [G]blind man
[Am]Though my mind[Em] could think,
I [F]still was a [G]mad man
[Dm]I hear the voice[C]s when I'm dream[Bb]ing[C]
[Dm]I can hear[C] them say[G]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Carry on, [C]my waywa[G]rd son[F]
[Am]There'll be peac[C]e when you a[G]re done

[Verse 2]
[Am]Masqueradi[Em]ng as a man [F]with a reaso[G]n
[Am]My charade[Em] is the event [F]of the seaso[G]n
[Dm]And if I claim[C] to be a wise [Bb]man, well[C]
[Dm]It surely mean[C]s that I don't know[G]
[Am]On a storm[Em]y sea of movin[F]g emotio[G]n
[Am]Tossed about[Em], I'm like a ship [F]on the ocean[G]
[Dm]I set a cour[C]se for winds of fort[Bb]une[C]
[Dm]But I hear[C] the voices say[G]

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Carry on, [C]my waywa[G]rd son[F]
[Am]There'll be peac[C]e when you a[G]re done

[F]Don't you cry no more, no
