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

[Verse 2]
He was raised to think like his dad
Narrow minded, full of hate
On the road to no where fast
Til' the grace of God got in the way

[Verse 3]
Then he saw the light, and hit he’s 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 4]
She was born with her mother's habit
Guess you could say it's in her blood
She hates it that she’s got to have it
She fills a glass up

[Verse 5]
She'd love to kill that bottle
But all she could think about is a
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

[Break]
Thank god for those who make it
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
Against all odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some people change

[Outro]
Some people change
Some people change
