Lyrics

To (C)dream the im pos si ble dream,

to (F)fight the un beat a ble foe,

to (Em)bear the un bear a ble (F)sor row,

to (Dm)run where the brave dare not (G)go.

To (C)right the un right a ble wrong,

to (F)love pure and chaste from a far,

to (Em)try when your arms are too (F)wear y,

to (Dm)reach the un reach a ble (Dm7)star!

This is my (C)quest

to fol low that (Am)star,

no mat ter how (Em)hope less, no mat ter how (F6)far;

to fight for the (Am)right with out ques tion or (Ab)pause, to be (Ab)will ing to (C)march in to (C)hell for a (Am)heav en ly (Bb)cause!

And I (Dm)know if I’ll on ly be (Bb)true to this glo ri ous (E)quest

that my (F6)heart will lie peace ful and (B7)calm when I’m laid to my (Fm)rest.

And the (C)world will be bet ter for this:

that one (F)man, scorned and cov ered with scars,

still (Em)strove with his last ounce of (F)cour age

to (C)reach the un (Dm7)reach a ble (C)stars.
