Оригинален текст
His old man was a rebel yeller,
Bad boy to the bone, he'd say,
Can't trust a color'd feller
He'd judge em by the tone of their skin,
He was raised to think like his dad,
Narrow mind and 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, 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 mothers habit,
guess you could say it's in her blood,
She hates that she's gotta have it,
She feels her glass up,
She'd love to kill that bottle,
But All she could think about is a,
Better life a second chance,
And everyone she's lettin down,
She throws that bottle down,
(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,
Thank God for those who make it,
Let them be the light,
(Chorus)
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, yea
Some people change
Some people change
Some people change
Some people change
