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
He was raised to think like his dad, narrow mind, full of hate
On the road to nowhere 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 and 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
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
As 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 lettin down-she throws that bottle down
Repeat Chorus
Thank God for those who make it
Let them be the light...
Let them be the light
Some people change.....
Repeat Chorus
