Kansas je prog rock bend osnovan 1970. godine, aktivan i danas, a najvecu popularnost postigli su kasnih sedamdesetih hitom Dust In The Wind. Prvi album izdali su 1974. i postigli osrednji uspjeh, no cestim turnejama uskoro osvajaju publiku. Njihov album Leftoverture iz 1976. dosao je na Top Five, prodao se u preko tri milijuna kopija i donio hit Carry On Wayward Son, pjesmu koja ujedno i otvara album. Ova pjesma spaja a capella pjevanje, zestoke rock riffove i solaze te njeznije prebiranje po zicama.
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son (5:25) 192kbit, Stereo, 7,5MB
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
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
