Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear, with unbearable sorrow

And run where the brave never go

To write the unwritable 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 cause

To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know, if I'll only be true

To this gloriuos 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, torn and covered in scars

Still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star!!!
