My dad
Chased monsters from the dark,
He checked underneath my bed.
An' he could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top his head.
He could loosen rusty bolts,
With a quick turn of his wrist.
He pulled splinters from his hand,
And never even flinched.
In thirteen years
I'd never seen him cry,
But the day that grandpa died,
I realized:

Unsinkable ships... sink.
Unbreakable walls... break.
Sometimes the things
You think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel... bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.

Then there was my junior year,
Nearly had a brand new car.
It was late, the road was wet,
I guess the curve was just too sharp.
I walked away without a scratch.
They brought the helicopter in.
An' Billy couldn't feel his legs.
Said he'd never walk again.
Billy said he would
And his Mom and daddy prayed,
And the day we graduated,
He stood up to say:

"Unsinkable ships... sink.
"Unbreakable walls... break.
"Sometimes the things you think
"Could never happen,
"Happen just like that...
"Unbendable steel... bends.
"If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
"I've learned to never underestimate,
"The impossible."

So don't tell me that it's over.
Don't give up on you and me.
'Cos there's no such thing as hopeless,
If you believe:

Unsinkable ships.... sink.
Unbreakable walls...... break.
Sometimes the things you think
Could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel... bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.
