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 chast from a far,
to try, when your arms are to 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 a 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 in scars,
still strove with his
last ounce of courage,
to reach, the unreachable star! |
