The Impossible Dream
SUSAN BOYLE · Hope 2014 · Track 08 of 09
Music: Mitch Leigh · Lyrics: Joe Darion
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow And to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong And 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
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 fight the unbeatable foe To reach the unreachable star
