D
His old man was a rebel yeller
G
Bad boy to the bone, he'd say
D
"Can't trust a colored feller"
G                                     D  G
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin

D
He was raised to think like his dad
G
Narrow mind and full of hate
D
On the road to nowhere fast
G                                 A
Till the grace of God got in the way
A
Then he saw the light
     G                  D
and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer,
A                       G
Rose up a brand new man,
left the old one right there

Chorus:
D                A                   G
Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
               Bm         G       D
Don't give up hope, some people change
            A                   G
Against all odds, against the grain
             Bm         G       D   G
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 a glass up

She'd love to kill that bottle
But all she could think about is a
A better life, a second chance
And everyone she’s letting down
She throws that bottle down

Chorus

G
Thank God for those who make it
D G              A
Let them be the light

Chorus

Bm    G       D   A G
Some people change
Bm    G       D   A G
Some people change
