Peter von Poehl - 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
