IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

(composed by Mitch Leigh, lyrics by Joe Darion from 1965 musical Man of La Mancha)

D G D G
To dream... the impossible dream...
C G C Am
To fight... the unbeatable foe...
Bm C
To bear… with unbearable sorrow...
Am D
and to run... where the brave dare not go...

G D G
To right... the unrightable wrong...
C G Am
and to love... pure and chaste from afar...
Bm C
To try... when your arms are too weary...
Am D
and to reach... the unreachable star...

G Em
This is my quest, to follow that star...
Bm C
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far...
Em C
To fight for the right, without question or pause
G Em C F
To be willing to march into Hell,… for a Heavenly cause...
Am F Bm
and I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
C Am
that my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
B D - D7
when I'm laid to my rest…………

G D Bm
And the world will be better for this:
C G Am
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Bm C
still strove, with his last ounce of courage...

G D G
To reach... the unreachable….. star...
