The Impossible Dream

To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
And 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 be peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

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
