    Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend
    To mean devices for a sordid end.
    Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne,
    By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone.
    Great in itself, not praises of the crowd,
    Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud.
    Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above,
    By which those great in war, are great in love.
    The spring of all brave acts is seated here,
    As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.

The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream

The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear the unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To write the unwritable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
The 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
Whithout 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 be peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
music by Leigh.
