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