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 that 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~
