This song has been running through my head all day. This is from the musical "The Man of La Mancha" and is so poignant. As I dream about my days ahead of me, the fun of the unknown, and the wonder of the future, this song keeps popping up.
"It is the mission of each true knight...
His duty... nay, his privilege!
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 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 stars!"
