His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone
He say, can't trust a coloured feller'
He'd judge em' by the tone of their skin
And he was raised to think like his dad
Their mind full of hate
On the road to no where fast
'Till the greats of god got in his way
And he saw the light and hit his knees
And cried and said a prayer
He 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 grave
Love finds a way
Some people change
She was born with her mothers
Guess you could say it's in her blood
She hates that she's gotta have it
She fills a 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 grey
Love finds a way
Some people change
Thank god for those who make it
Love be the light
(Some people change)
Here's the the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope
Some people change
Against all odds
Against the grey
Love finds away
Some people change
(Some people change)
Here's the the strong
(Thanks to the brave)
Don't give up hope
Some people change
Against all odds
Against the grey
Love finds away
Some people change
