  • My dad chased monsters from the dark
    He checked underneath my bed
    And 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
    And 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'll 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, they 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
    'Cause 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 Writer/s: KELLEY LOVELACE, LEE THOMAS MILLER
