To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

To go whew the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong

To love pure and chaste from afar

To try when your arms are to weary

To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest to follow the star

No matter how hopeless no matter how far

To be willing to fight without question or pause

To be willing to pass into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true to the glorious quest

That my heart lies 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 once of courage

To reach the unreachable star
