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 be

better off than you are

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 lie will lie 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
