The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" is a popular song composed for the 1965 musical Man of La Mancha. It is the main song from the musical and became its most popular hit. The song is sung all the way through once in the musical by Don Quixote as he stands vigil over his armor, in response to Aldonza (Dulcinea)'s question about what he means by "following the quest".
Video clips were from the 1972 movie based on the musical play which starred Peter O'Toole and Sophia Loren.
IMPOSSIBLE DREAM (THE QUEST)
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear the unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go,
To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chased from a far,
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 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.
To reach the unreachable Star.
I love this so much. We all have a mission we must embrace. We have everything we need deep down inside to make a difference. Nightingale
