The Impossible Dream (The Quest)Jack Jones Words and Music by Joe Darion and Mitch LeighFrom the Broadway musical "Man Of La Mancha"(peak Billboard Adult Contemporary position # 35 in 1966)To dream the impossible dreamTo fight the unbeatable foeTo bear with unbearable sorrowTo run where the brave dare not go.To right the unrightable wrongTo be better far than you areTo try when your arms are too wearyTo reach the unreachable starThis is my quest, to follow that star,No matter how hopeless, no matter how farTo be willing to give when there's no more to giveTo be willing to die so that honor and justice may liveAnd I know if I'll only be true to this glorious questThat my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my restAnd the world will be better for thisThat one man scorned and covered with scarsStill strove with his last ounce of courageTo reach the unreachable star.Transcribed by Ronald E.
