The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are to weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
to follow the star
No matter how hopeless
no matter how far
To fight for the right
without question or pause
To be willing to pass into hell
for a heavenly cause
And I know, if I'll only be true
to the glorious quest

That my heart lies peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man
scorned and covered with scars
Still strove
with his last ounce of courage
To reach
the unreachable star

This is my quest
to follow the star
No matter how hopeless
no matter how far
To fight for the right
without question or pause

And to dream the impossible dream
The impossible dream
The impossible dream
The impossible dream
