Carry on Wayward Son Supernatural Theme song. By Kansas

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

Ah

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,
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

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,
Don't you cry no more,

No more!


I love deciphering song lyrics and have just been listening to the album long version of the track on the radio. When I first heard this song thought it was really tacky. But over the years I really feel the song and what the words really mean and enjoy listening to it when I hear it playing. So I just wondered what you all thought of the song if you think it suited the show at the time? I know fans love it at conventions when Louden Swain play it, and the crowd really get behind it. Would love to know your thoughts.

I love this song and have it as a ring tone on my cell phone. It's been fun to watch people's reaction when someone calls me when I'm at a store.

I'm afraid it's also a prediction of what will happen when/if the show ends. I don't remember where I read it but think both J's have said they wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. I'm hoping not. When/if the show ends I want them to drive off into the sunset with beloved Baby and continue to be out there protecting all of us from the bad. Somehow that makes me feel a whole lot safer.
