The Impossible Dream by Mark Vincent (original lyrics)

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.
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 right
Without 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.

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,
The unreachable, the unreachable stars!
To reach the unreachable,
The unreachable, the unreachable stars!
The unreachable stars!
