Though I am not much into
Kansas the song
Carry on my Wayward Son has become a favorite of mine thanks to Supernatural Season Finale .It was first used in Season 1 but when they used it in
Second Season Finale I was totally addicted to it . The collage of scenes added to the magic .
ONCE again the track has been used in
Season 4 Finale and once again I am addicted to it . Dont know its the track or the collage/recap that does the trick every time .
Here is the track being used in
Season 4 Finale (may contain spoilers)
Lyrics :
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the 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,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now 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, 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,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
