Lyrics The Impossible Dream - Linda Eder

The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream.
To fight the unbeatable foe.
To bare with unbareable sorrow.
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right unrightable wrong.
To love being chaste from afar.
To try when your arms 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 cause,
To be willing to march into hell for whatever the cause.
And by then, if I’d only be true to this glorious quest.
Then my heart will be peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this.
That one man, old and covered with scars, strove with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable star.
