This is one of my favorite songs recommended by my English teacher. Here is the lyric below.

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 chaste 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 a heavenly cause.

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 fight the unbeatable foe.
To reach the unreachable star.

The song is very meaningful and inspiring. It tells us that no matter what happened, we still have to strive for our rights. Are you the kind of person who sticks to your belief forever and never gives it up?

However, some people give up their dreams or goals easily when facing difficulties. It could be because they can’t stand the sufferings anymore. Besides, they may think life is aimless for them, so what do they have to adhere to their belief for? I think that this kind of person is pathetic. If they listen to the song, to some extent, it may comfort their hearts.

I wish everyone could have a fruitful life.

p.s. This song was also sung in the movie “Don Quixote’’. Don Quixote explains to Dulcinea his quest. (The Impossible dream.)
