Story Behind The Song
This song came to me after I decided to pursue a dream of mine to travel the world. I didn't have much money saved up and I quit my job. Friends and family thought I was a little crazy but I knew this was what I wanted to do and I did! :-) The words to the song came to me as I sat on Miami beach which was the last city I visited on my travels - I think just realising I'd done something people said was impossible really inspired

Lyrics
Gonna attempt the all impossible
What's not been done before
Go further than the human eye can see
Beyond the distant shores
I won't allow my past dictate to me
Telling me that I'm not good enough, just not good enough
'cos I know that it's been a long time coming
Picked myself up the many times I've fallen
Holding on to faith that's re-assuring me
That this time I'm gonna make it
Chorus:
So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna be
The impossible, the impossible
I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna believe
For the impossible, the all impossible
If I listen to the logic, go with the status quo
I wouldn't give myself half a chance
Because I failed once before
I've got this treasure that's within me
Been hidden much to long
It's time for me to try, time for me to try
But I know that it's been a long time coming
Picked myself up the many times I've fallen
Holding on to faith that's re-assuring me
That this time I'm gonna make it
Chorus
Bridge:
I know I can't help but try
'cos I've got you on my side
You give me strength from inside
The rock that's higher than I
Chorus:
So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna be
The impossible, the impossible
I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna believe
For the impossible, the all impossible
