To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

And 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 star



And I'll always dream

The impossible dream

Yes, and I'll reach

The unreachable star....
