作词 : Dulaney, Sellers, Thrasher 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 minded 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 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 She fills her glass up, and 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 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 to those who make it Let them be the light(Some people change) 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 Some people change, some people change
