The Impossible Dream
Alfie Boe (ft Matt Lucas)
[Alfie:]
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go;
[Matt:]
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!
[Alfie:]
This is my quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
[Matt:]
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
[Alfie & Matt:]
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!
[Alfie:]
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.
[Matt:]
And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
[Alfie:]
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
[Alfie & Matt:]
To reach the unreachable stars!
[Alfie:]
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.
[Matt:]
And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
[Alfie:]
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
[Alfie & Matt:]
To reach the unreachable stars!
