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 had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.
Who soothed the lions hungry in their cage,
With the confidence of a clown ?
A little man who rises on the stage
As he falls without a safety net ?
We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.
Whatever happened to the great escape
And to all the plans we made ?
Crafted with pride by Masters of the trade,
The world's greatest circus.
 We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.
