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 . . .
