The Impossible Dream

2013/5     出處:生命與歌 (第185輯) 0520

To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe
去夢那不能實現的夢
去擊敗那不能擊敗的敵人

To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go
去忍耐那不能忍耐的悲傷  
要邁向那勇敢的人都不敢去的地方

To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar
去修正那不能修正的錯誤   
去愛那遙不可及的純真

To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star
要盡力 雖然你已經是太疲累  
去觸及那遙不可摸的星星

This is my quest To follow the star
這是我的尋求 要跟隨那星星

No matter how hopeless  No matter how far
不論有多絕望   不管有多遙遠

To fight for the right without question or pause
要為正義而爭戰沒有疑惑也沒有中止

To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
為了天國的緣故我願受地獄之苦

And I know If I only be true to this glorious quest
我知道只要我忠於這榮耀的尋求

That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
我的心會平靜安穩    
     
When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this
當我在安息之時 這世界將會因此變得更好

That one man scorned and covered with scars
因為有人雖然受盡創傷

Still strove with his last ounce of courage
仍然拚盡最後一分勇氣

To reach the unreachable star
要觸及那遙不可摸的星星
