The Impossible Dream Lyrics

The Impossible Dream

- Matt Monro

 

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 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 star
