The Quantifiers - The Impossible Journey (SHADOW)

from SpinTunes 16 Round 3 by Spintunes

/

about

This song was written for SpinTunes #16 round 3. The challenge was to write an uplifting song to sing for a Graduation, Dedication, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Funeral, Baptism, or similar event.

In the universe of The Phantom Tollbooth, this song would be sung at the annual celebration of the rescue of Rhyme and Reason by Milo, Tock, and the Humbug. In our universe, it's suitable for any celebration of somebody's hard-won achievements — graduation, funeral, knighthood, and so on.

lyrics

You took the impossible journey
You went to the castle in the air
It was an impossible journey
You had every Reason to dare

You passed Expectations at the very start
You rode out the doldrums very thoughtfully
You watched your words and served your sentences
You heard of a problem and you came to help
You brought quite some courage to the table
You ventured to change the way you looked at things
You saw things from someone else’s Point of View
You saw past Illusions to Reality
You brought forth the dawn in vivid symphony
You fought for the silenced with your voice
You jumped to conclusions and worked back again
You carefully thought about which path to take

You took the impossible journey
You went to the castle in the air
It was an impossible journey
You had every Reason to dare

You mastered the magic you can count upon
You looked past the average towards infinity
You forged an agreement from the strife
You conquered distractions of the trivial
You vanquished the demons with perceptiveness
Your thoughts shook the shoulders of a giant
You kept all your senses and went bravely on
You found what you searched for at last
You thought your blunders were a waste of time
You thought your skill was all pretending
You brought back harmony with Reason and Rhyme
Your learning will be neverending

You made the impossible journey
You went to the castle in the air
It was an impossible journey
You had every Reason to dare
