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 13 years I never saw him cry
But the day that Grandpa died I realized
(Chorus)
Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think will 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 dark
I guess the curve was just too sharp
I walked away without a scratch
They brought the helicopter in
And 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
(repeat chorus)
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
(repeat chorus)
