Some People Change

[Verse 1]
His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone
He'd say, "Can't trust that other feller"
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin

[Verse 2]
He was raised to think like his Dad
Narrow mind, full of hate
On the road to nowhere fast
Till the Grace of God got in the way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then he saw the light and hit his knees
And cried and said a prayer
Rose up a brand new man
Left the old one right there

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
She was born with her mother's habit
You could say it's in her blood
She hates that she's gotta have it
As she fills her glass up

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Thank God for those who make it
Let them be the light
(Let them be the light)
(Some people change)

[Chorus]
Here's to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope
Some people change
(Some people change)
Against all odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some people change

[Outro]
(Some people change)
(Some people change)
