Man of La Mancha

Hear me now
Oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha –
My destiny calls and I go!
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward
Oh whithersoever they blow!
Whithersoever they blow –
Onward to glory I go!

Hear me, heathens and wizards
And serpents of sin –
All your dastardly doings are past!
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!

I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of la Mancha –
My destiny calls and I go!
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onwar
Oh whithersoever they blow!
Whithersoever they blow –
Onward to glory I go!

Ho!
