The Child of Yesterday



The Impossible Dream

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 that 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, 
The unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
And I'll reach
The unreachable star!

~Written by Luther Van Dross
