To Dream the Impossible Dream: The Authentic Life
I keep saying that we will go crazy if we don’t have something to balance the darkness all around us, a vision to inspire us and get us through. And of course, faith in God. Let us never lose our humanity. Let us always hold our heads up high. And ultimately, we live for the next life.
I grew up listening to this song, we need a few anthems right now…
“The Impossible Dream (The Quest)”
Richard Kiley & Cast from Man of La Mancha, 1966
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 chased 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 that Heavenly cause
And I know if I only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I lay 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 star
(Mitch Leigh, Joe Darion)
