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 storng   Thanks to the brave   don't give up hope   some peopel change   against all odds   against the grey   love finds away   some people change   (some people change)   Here's the the storng   (Thanks to the brave)   don't give up hope   some peopel change   against all odds   against the grey   love finds away   some people change
