"The Impossible Dream" Lyrics

(Mitch Leigh - Joe 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 write the unwritable wrong
To be better far 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
And to fight for the right whithout 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 reach the unreachable star...
