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 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

To be willing to give when there's no more to give

To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live



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



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.
