The Impossible Dream (The Quest)
Glen Campbell · 20 Greatest Hits [Capitol/EMI Records] [2000]
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 unrighrable wrong
To love pure a chaste from a far
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 a 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 fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star...
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrighrable wrong
To love pure a chaste from a far
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 a 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 fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star...
