The Impossible Dream Songtext
von Ray Conniff, His Orchestra & Chorus

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 light 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!
To reach the unreachable stars!
