The Story of the Impossible Lyrics

Whatever happened to the great escape,
The finest ever made?
Crafted with pride by masters of the trade;
The world's greatest circus.
We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve,
But really close.

Who soothed the lions hungry in their cage
With the confidence of a clown?
A little man who rises on the stage,
As he falls without a safety net?
We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve,
But really close.
Whatever happened to the great escape,
And to all the plans we made?
Crafted with pride by masters of the trade,
The world's greatest circus.

We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve,
But really close.
