Man Of La Mancha (i, Don Quixote) Lyrics - 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 

Oh, 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 

Oh, 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
