Alfie Boe

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!
