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 Picture jamie Lead Player	#1 by jamie mordue at Oct 17, 2006 at 3:29 AM EST
	for me this song seams to be about a guy going through a hard time in life and remebering his fathers encouragement when he was younger.

No Picture Eric Average	#2 by Eric at Nov 8, 2006 at 12:42 AM EST
	The main reason I like this song is the amount of talent the group displays in it...they change tempos and key sigs countless times during this song, and every time pull it off without a hitch. That isn't easy.

No Picture Joonas Wanna Be	#3 by Joonas Luukkainen at Dec 10, 2006 at 6:08 AM EST
	Good song, its in Anchorman's credits, Good song

No Picture dan Average	#4 by dan evans at Dec 17, 2006 at 1:53 PM EST
	haha this song is about drug enduced visions...pretty fitting for a religious retreat I guess

No Picture bec Average	#5 by bec madden at Oct 7, 2007 at 6:32 AM EST
	It has to do with life and the presence of God in it it deals with the pains and the journey 2 find yourself that everyone experiences its a beautiful song it brings tears 2 my eyes none can equal the splendor now ur lifes no longa empty surely heaven waits 4 u dont u cry no more =0)

No Picture Garland Rhythm Player	#6 by Garland Cross at Oct 17, 2007 at 11:40 PM EST
	this song is a hard one. to me i can see parts that are talking about searching for something... mayble searching for who the singer is. and at the end of his search he can finally rest and be at peace with himself. he also has obstacles such as finding what is real and what is fake in life and also dealing with emotions. but that is just my opinion... great song tho
