The Impossible Dream from MAN OF LA MANCHA music by Mitch Leigh and 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 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.
