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 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 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 stars!
