The Impossible

My dad chased monsters from the dark He checked underneath my bed He could lift me with one arm way up over top his head He could loosen rusty bolts with a quick turn of his wrench 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 would 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, Billy 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 Billy couldn't feel his legs, said he'd never walk again But 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 would 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 would 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
