G
His old man was a rebel yeller,
D
Bad boy to the bone, he'd say,
G
Can't trust a color'd feller
D C G D
He'd judge em by the tone of their skin,
G
He was raised to think like his dad,
D
Narrow mind and full of hate,
G
On the road to nowhere fast,
D c
Till the grace of God got in the way,
G
Then he saw the light,
D G
and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer,
D G
Rose up a brand new man, left the old one right there,
(Chorus:)
D G
Here's to the strong thanks to the brave,
D C G
Don't give up hope, some people change,
D G
Against all odds, against the grain,
D C G D
Love finds a way, some people change,
G
She was born with her mothers habit,
D
guess you could say it's in her blood,
G
She hates that she's gotta have it,
D C
She feels her glass up,
G
She'd love to kill that bottle,
D
But All she could think about is a,
G
Better life a second chance,
D
And everyone she's lettin down,
G C
She throws that bottle down,
(Chorus:)
G D
Thank God for those who make it,
G D G
Let them be the light,
(Chorus)
C G
Some people change,
(Chorus)
C G D
Some people change
C G D
Some people change
C G D
Some people change
