Lyrics: Linda Eder. Man of la Mancha (I, Don Quixote).

Hear me now, oh, thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee

Oh, I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
Destroyer of evil am I
I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory
Forever to conquer or die

Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last

Oh, I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
And [Incomprehensible]
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh, whither so ever they blow
Whither so ever they blow, onward to glory I go

Oh, I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
And name of the world's to end up
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh, whither so ever they blow
Whither so ever they blow, onward to glory I go
