Lyrics for singles by Kansas
Carry On Wayward Son
Point Of Know Return
Dust In The Wind
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 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, oh
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
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 sign
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
To the Point of Know Return?"
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
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on
Nothing last forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won'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
