Some People Change

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 no where fast
Till the grace of God got in the way

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

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
As she fills her glass up

She'd love to kill that bottle
But all she can think about
Is a, 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, 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
