The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

(Leigh / Darion)





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 far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star


Oh in my quest to follow the star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or thought
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
And my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest


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


And the world will be better for this
Oh that one man swarmed and covered the star
He still strove with his last ounce of courage
For to reach the unreachable star
