His old man was a rebel yeller

Bad boy to the bone

He'd say: "Can't trust that other fella"

He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin

He was raised to think like his dad

Narrow mind full of hate

On the road to nowhere fast

'Til the grace of God got in his way

Then he saw the light

Hit his knees and 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

You could say: "It's in her blood"

She hates that she's gotta have it

She 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 all odds

Against the grain

Love finds a way some people change

Thank God for those who make it

Let them be the light

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

Some people change

Some people

Some people change
