Joe Nichols - 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 of 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

Cuz 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
