Man of La Mancha (I Don Quixote) (From Man of La Mancha) - Linda Eder

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

Destroyer of evil am I I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory

Forever to conquer or die 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 onward

Oh whither so ever they blow

Whither so ever they blow

Onward to Glory I go
