American Songs - The Impossible lyrics

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'd pull splinters from his hand and never even flinch

In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry

But the day that Grandpa died I realized

Chorus

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 under estimate 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 to 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

Chorus

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 under estimate 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

Chorus

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 under estimate the impossible
