The Impossible Dream
Joe Darion, Mitchell Leigh
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bare with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the un-rightable 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 the star
And no matter how hopeless and 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
Then my heart will be peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
Yeah, yes
Oh yeah
And the world will be better for thee
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
Mmm-hmmm, star, mmm...
