The Impossible Dream

Labor Day 2023

The Impossible Dream

Composed by Mitch Leigh, with lyrics by Joe Danton

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 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 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

with scars


Still strove


With his last ounce

of courage


To reach the unreachable

star


To reach the unreachable star . . .
