The Impossible Dream (The Quest) - (From "Man of La Mancha") - Kate Smith

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 will 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 by far

That just one, scorned and covered with scars

Still tried with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star
