Miscellaneous |
|
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 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 may 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 for this |
|
That one man, scorned and covered with scars, |
|
Still strove with his last ounce of courage |
|
To reach the unreachable star |
|
NOTES: The Broadway cast's version is quite similar with a few exceptions: |
|
(*)To love pure and chaste from afar |
|
(**)To fight for the right without question or pause |
|
(***)To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause |
|
