Lyrics
[Soft Intro] To dream an impossible dream To bear the sorrow and the sting To burn with a fever that won’t dim To walk where shadows cling [Verse 1] To love till it tears you apart To love, even when it breaks your heart To try without shield or armor To reach for a distant star [Chorus] This is my quest, my sacred call To chase that light, to rise and fall No matter the odds, or the time I lose Or my despair, I choose [Verse 2] And still I fight, with no retreat For the gold of love, pure and sweet To be damned if I must, for this word A love untouched, unheard [Chorus] This is my quest, my sacred call To chase that light, to rise and fall No matter the odds, or the time I lose Or my despair, I choose [Bridge] I may not be that hero strong But peace would fill my heart’s song And cities would dance in hues of blue For one soul’s fire, burning through [Verse 3] To burn on, even when burned out To reach for dreams, in fear and doubt Too much, too far, too wrong Still chasing that unreachable song [Finale] To dream an impossible dream To love, to fight, through every seam For this endless, unyielding star -- V2: To dream the unreachable dream, To bear every sorrow unseen, To blaze with an endless fever, And walk where no soul has been. To love till it tears you in two, To love past the edges of truth, To fight without shield or armor, To reach for that far-off star. This is my quest, To follow that light, No matter the odds, No matter the fight, Or the weight of despair. Forever to battle, alone and possessed, Damn me if only for love confessed. I don’t know if I’m meant for the call, But my heart could finally rest, With cities cast in a blue, whispered hue, ‘Cause one broken soul still presses on, Burns bright even when it’s all gone, Burns fierce, even reckless and wrong, To reach that unreachable star.
