Story Behind the Song
Inspirational song about the quest for perfection in an imperfect world.
Lyrics
Seize the Promised Moon
Dust is spied in Spain, justice rides again.
Windmill dragons bite the dust in old Don Quixote's name.
Crusading knight proclaims, war on all evil reigns.
All righteousness, all backed by steel, stealing back ill-gotten gains.
Pure gold heart, brave mettle, packaged in silver mail.
Chivalrous knight is keen to smite, give him evil to assail.
Chorus:
Ride forth from La Mancha. World's a vast frontier.
Ride through the long dark ages. Ride for a thousand years.
Oh, impossible hero, nothing that you can't do,
Reach for the stars
and claim them as ours
and then seize the promised moon.
Some just trust in heaven, some just lust for wealth,
But some quixotic souls just must rout the devil back to hell!
Devil quit the game, pulled up stakes, left Spain.
Knights died out, the earth got round, soon the world was not the same.
Priceless, old chivalry, yielded economy.
Wicked, old kings lost all their things, sin attained democracy.
Come back, Don Quixote, dust off your old ideals.
Stir up a fuss, a cloud of dust, riding horseback or on wheels.
Chorus:
Ride forth from La Mancha. World's a vast frontier.
Ride through the long dark ages. Ride for a thousand years.
Oh, impossible hero, nothing that you can't do,
Reach for the stars
and claim them as ours
and then seize the promised moon.
Some just trust in heaven, some just lust for wealth,
But some quixotic souls just must rout the devil back to hell!
