His Old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone
He'd say “You can't trust a colored feller”
He'd judge them by the tone of their skin

Now he was raised to think like his Dad
Narrow minded, full of hate
On the road to nowhere fast
Till the grace of God got in his way
But he saw the light and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer
He rose up a brand new man, left the old one right there


Here's to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope
Some People Change
Against all odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some People Change

She was born with her Mother habit
Guess you can say it's in her blood
She hates that she's got a habit
She's fills her glass up
She'd love to kill that bottle
But all she can think about is a better life, a second chance
And everyone she's letting down
She throws that bottle down

Here's to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope,
Some People Change
Against the odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some People Change

Thank god for those who make it
Let ‘em be the light

Here's to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope,
Some People Change
Against the odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some People Change
