Johnny Mathis Miscellaneous Man Of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote) 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! BRIDGE I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha My destiny calls and I go And the wild winds of fortune shall carry me onward Oh, withersoever they blow Withersoever they blow Onward to glory I go 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 A name all the world soon will know I command all my soul to the wild winds of fortune Oh wither so ever they blow Wither so ever they blow Onward to glory I go!
