my dad chased monsters from the dark,
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've 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 hellicopter in;
billy coundn'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 its over,
don't give up on you and cause;
there is no such thing as hopeless,
if you believe;

unsinkable ships,
sink;
unbreakable walls,
break;
sometimes the things you think 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; {fades out}
