Lyrics by Joe Darion
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 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 into
hell for a 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 stars!
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 stars!
The unreachable stars!
Notes: I didn't really like Man of La Mancha all that much. But I LOVE this song!! And the HollinSingers are going to perform it someday. If I can manage to hit that high A...
