Joe Nichols Lyrics
"The Impossible"

My dad chased monsters from the dark,
Checked underneath my bed,
And 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,
Never even flinched.
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 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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
And 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:

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.
(ohhh)

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 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...
