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 off 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 fight for the right, without 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 lie 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.
