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
 Til 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.
