The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

Lirik lagu ini sangat mengesankan ... saya pertama kali mendengarkannya ketika dinyanyikan Andy Williams. Musiknya mulai dengan tempo lambat, tapi kemudian perlahan-lahan naik, menyuarakan keinginan hati untuk mencapai yang terbaik ... bahkan yang dikatakan orang mustahil ....

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


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 be 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 ....
