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 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
