The Story of the Impossible

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?
 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
 But oh, so close
