Jack Jones Impossible Dream Lyrics

Impossible Dream Lyrics

The Impossible Dream (The Quest)
Jack Jones
Words and Music by Joe Darion
and Mitch Leigh
From the Broadway musical "Man Of La Mancha"

(peak
Billboard Adult Contemporary position # 35 in 1966)

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 be better far than you are
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 be willing to give
when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice
may live

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.
