Lyrics

[00:08.00] To dream the impossible dream,
[00:13.00] To fight the unbeatable foe,
[00:19.00] To bear with unbearable sorrow
[00:26.00] To run where the brave dare not go;
[00:32.00] To right the unrightable wrong.
[00:39.00] To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
[00:46.00] To try, when your arms are too weary,
[00:52.00] To reach the unreachable star!
[00:58.00] This is my Quest to follow that star,
[01:06.00] No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
[01:10.00] To fight for the right
[01:14.00] Without question or pause,
[01:17.00] To be willing to march into hell
[01:21.00] For a heavenly cause!
[01:25.00] And I know, if I'll only be true
[01:30.00] To this glorious Quest,
[01:34.00] That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
[01:40.00] When I'm laid to my rest.
[01:45.00] And the world will be better for this,
[01:52.00] That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
[01:59.00] Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
[02:05.00] To reach the unreachable stars!
[02:13.00] This is my Quest to follow that star,
[02:19.00] No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
[02:25.00] To fight for the right
[02:28.00] Without question or pause,
[02:31.00] To be willing to march into hell
[02:34.00] For a heavenly cause!
[02:40.00] And I know, if I'll only be true
[02:45.00] To this glorious Quest,
[02:48.00] That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
[02:54.00] When I'm laid to my rest.
[03:01.00] And the world will be better for this,
[03:09.00] That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
[03:16.00] Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
[03:23.00] To reach
[03:30.00] the unreachable stars!
