Frank Sinatra - The Impossible Dream Lyrics






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
[1]To be better far than you are[1]
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
[2]To be willing to give when there's no more to give[2]
[3]To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live[3]
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 star

[Notes:]
[The Broadway cast's version is quite similar with a few exceptions:]
[1 - "To love pure and chaste from afar"]
[2 - "To fight for the right without question or pause"]
[3 - "To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause"]

    I like Andy Williams' version a lot too, but I find that Sinatra's voice has this heaviness and desperation in this version that Williams' version doesn't have

    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 be better far than you are(*)
    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

    Before you jump on the bandwagon with "john wick yeah!" NO - John wick 3's Trailer was a cut up edition of Andy Williams version of "the Impossible Dream",  Might resemble Franks voice but its not.

    M.... A....

    John Wick es la ley

  27. A.... D....

    I'm "fan" of Sinatra... But the version of Andy.... Maybe is better.

    And actually is the version of John wick movie

    A.... D....

    Not in a mile.

    A.... D....

    @GhostWaves You're wrong... *DEAD* wrong, matie !!!! And he/she's right (kinda) but it is not "maybe", it's "Andy Williams' version (and also, singing voice) is WAY better !"

  28. K.... R....

    I love this and the Andy Williams version. Brilliant fucking song and also... thank you John Wick 3 trailer!

  29. T.... S....

    John wick 3 brought me here!

  30. A.... J....

    Nope that Disney Duckling commercial ! Lol!

  31. J.... ....

    would have loved to hear the 1940's Frank give his take on this, it would have been unreal.

  32. 9.... ....

    Beautiful song

  33. K.... ....

    Was brought here by John Wick 3

    K.... ....

    Really? did the trailer say Frank Sinatra then? NOPE!  JW3 is Andy Williams.

  34. R.... ....

    JOHN WICK CHAPTER 3

    R.... ....

    Wrong!  JW3 was Andy Williams not Frank!

  35. k.... ....

    "to reach the unreachable star" you did it frank. you did it. you have reached the unreachable star

    k.... ....

    I mean, to me the lyrics of the song seems deeply and blindly desperate. Not like "I wan't to reach some level of celebrity to act my human job"

    k.... ....

    @Prescillia Fernandes The song meaning is so simple every humans dream (Be realized to world)

    k.... ....

    Nailed it

    k.... ....

    @Prescillia Fernandes he has got italian blood

  36. D.... R....

    Frank's version is so cool. Oh & it's from Man of La Mancha, in case anyone was wondering.

  38. R.... ....
