the impossible dream (the quest)

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 too weary

to reach the unreachable star. this is my quest

to follow that star

no matter how hopeless

no matter how far. to fight for the right

without question or pause

to be willing to march

into hell for a heavenly cause. and i know if i'll only be true

to this glorious quest

that my heart will be 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 fight the unbeatable foe. to reach the unreachable star.
