Lyrics: Linda Eder. The Impossible Dream {From Man of la Mancha}.

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 of 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 be 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
