The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

And to runwhere

The brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong

And 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 rightWithout question or pause

To be willing to march,

March into hell

For that heavenly cause

And I know

If I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my heart

Will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest
