To right the unrightable wrong And 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, march into hell For that heavenly cause
There was never a talent like the voice of Luther Vandross it so hard to believe he has gone from us. This is beautiful. Great Post. and @ Protege, I am so sorry for your loss.
his voice just hits my soul... what a man.... what a loss to the world and to think he could not be open about his real self... your were too beautiful for this world Mr. Vandross...
Sometimes there comes along a song which sums up what's missing in life : a purpose, a direction & the compassion that 'glues' altogether...
Since a kid, allways liked your songs, Mr. Vandross... But this one & 'Dance with my father' made me aware of the reasons I loved your music & voice...
Rest In Peace, Mr. Vandross. You're allways be at THE TOP !
Last year i cryed like a crazy, when was a Luther's year of death.. Like He said "Whenever I say goodbye it's never for long because I believe in the power of love". So dont worry people legend comes back at judgment day! (:
Absolutely fantastic. This is a true declaration, ...we all have dreams, some are unreachable. There is always "one", ..."the dream", ...that keeps us going, no matter how impossible and unfeasible. That is hope, and one cannot live without it.
She's in a place where thorns with blazing flame that's so secured filled with poisonous gas and so unreachable for me to take her hand, but my heart rebels keen of going through the forest of that blazing fiery poisonous thorns with an uncertainty of what may come.
"wooooooooooooooooooooooooow" what can i say this tune had all my hairs standing up on my arm, I felt this so much, sorry all the other artist who sung this song, you don't have a touch on how Luther made it feel he did this tune justicewish he was still around, one great artist "LUTHER VANDROSS".
Perhaps one of the greatest songs anyone has ever sang. I believe the key to its meaning lies in the very last verse:
"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."
And what was Jesus's unreachable star which He was willing to walk into hell to reach? It is summed up in the following prophecy from the old Testament:: Isaiah 11:6-9

I love to hear Luther sing,,, my brother has a beautiful voice and I am hoping someone can hire him for a band or to sing somewhere,, he loves to sing and is just looking for that opportunity!! beautiful voice though!!
O WOW HOW BEAUTIFUL WUZ THAT...LUTHER WUZ DA GREATEST 2 EVER REACH THE DEPTHS OF THE HEART WITH HIZ SONGS FASHO....R.I.P 2 A LEGEND AND A KING LUTHER U LIVE FOREVER
If your inner circle of associates or family Cannot Suport or Appreciate The Ambitions, Strength, Goals and Determinations To Succeed. Then you're surrounded by negative energy draining Your Sources and depleting Your Progress..
I just discovered a new release featuring Luther - the song is called 'Save Your Soul' - it's a track on artist 'London Hutchins' album 'Loving Education', and was recorded shortly before Luther passed away in 2005. Check it out - you can listen on CDBaby.com
loool did you read what protegue tuype said? you could say that youre soorrryyyyy!!!! or somthing so im sorry for youre brpther my father died to and he was 30 years old so i know that felling of loosing somone you love and this song its bringing me back memories so it is realllyyy i mean REALLLLYYYY GREAT cause it is cathching you in its story(the song story)
I still cannot listen to this song without tearing up! I believe it to be the best version ever sung. He sings with passion, love and heart. rest in peace Luther.

I have this CD and enjoy all of the songs. My impossible dream is to overcome resentments from people who have and still betraying me. I will learn not to dwell on gossip about me from frenemies.
@TommyNavid - The betrayal was from two people I trusted and I am glad I will never see these toxic men and "what goes around will go around." I will dream the impossible dream and find a better employer and supervisor who do not have venomous personalities.
@MrPinoyrock Your answer to Avalita07 was more true to the meaning of this song. However a good song will always mean different things to different ppl.
its translated form the French written by my hero Jacques Brel from his musical about Don Quixote- "the man from la mancha". Great version- Luther is my other hero!!!
To me this song is also about people who dedicate their lives to fighting for the rights of others. People like those who participated in the Civil Rights Movement who had dogs and fire hoses turned on them, but didn't give up. They truly marched into hell for a heavenly cause.
@MrPinoyrock@MrPinoyrock -thanks:) that's what I was thinking it was about...it's a beautiful song & you have great taste in music.thanks for posting!! xo
@MrPinoyrock it is about having the courage to keep on going for a worthy cause even in the face of adversity. Stop that heaven crap, it does not exist, if so where is it?... Please point at it (better not point up into space ok, that's not heaven). Heaven is a religious concept and a myth. Please stick with reality.
@Avalita07 Its from the broadway musical Man of la Mancha. It's about a man who isnt reallly right in the head and he fights windmills becuase he thinks theyre giant evil people. Er...thts what my chorus teacher says.
its from the musical Man of La Mancha and is sung by the character Don Quixote. It essentially states that, to truly live, you should always strive to achieve goals which perhaps seem impossible. not a bad version Luther
@Avalita07 In the musical, Man Of La Mancha, It's about Don Quixote De La Mancha saying that he'll go to the ends of the earth to do what's right, to always fight for what he believes in, no matter how much other people may see it as useless or stupid or ... well, impossible to accomplish. So on and so forth. It's a very touching scene(s), despite the character's madness. I fully recommend the movie or the stage versions.
I must say I'm biased, though; the movie is my favorite.
@Avalita07 Song is supposed to be sung by a character called Don Quijote De La Mancha. The song was written for the musical Man of La Mancha, it is his life's theme if you will about overtaking some of lifes seemingly impossible goals.
@Avalita07 To be more specific than the other replies, it's about Don Quixote, the Man of La Mancha. A character intended to parody the ideals of chivalry, who instead caused a resurgence in their popularity. Look him up.
Yes indeed this is the (Best Version), love it. Thanks for sharing/posting.
