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.
