from Man of La Mancha, (1972)
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 to weary
To reach the unreachable star
This 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 scares
Still strove with his last once of courage
To reach the unreachable star
America could be America again if just a few of us lived this selflessness. California could be California again if just a few of us lived this selflessness. The selfishness of the people has destroyed every successful country in history. America is liable for the same end but are we not surprised that the threat is now! Let just a few of us sing this song along with that great Marine, Gomer Pyle!
