Some People Change

His old man was a rebel yeller

Bad boy to the bone

He'd say, can't trust a colored feller

He'd judge them by the tone of their skin

He was raised to think like his dad

Narrowminded, full of hate

On the road to nowhere fast

Till the grace of God got in the way

Then he saw the light and hit his knees

Cried and said a prayer

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's habit

Guess you could say it's in her blood

She hates it that she's gotta have it

She fills her glass up

She'd love to kill that bottle

But all she could think about is

A better life, a second chance

And everyone she's lettin' down

She throws that bottle down

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

Thank God for those who make it

Let them be the light

Some people change

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

Some people change

Some people change
