BEHIND EVERY IDEALIST 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 strive when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star... This is his quest, yes him over there, The one with the slightly maniacal stare, He is willing to trudge through the rain and the mud He is willing to fight to the very last drop of my blood, And I know, if I get too involved, In his lunatic quest, I'll get caught, I'll get tortured and killed, Right along with the rest, But I know, I will stay by his side, I must, 'cause I promised his ma, And if, by some chance he should make it, I'll steal--that unreachable STAR!!!
