Some People Change Lyrics
His old man was a rebel yeller:
Bad boy to the bone.
He'd say: "Can't trust that other fella,"
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin.
He was raised to think like his Dad:
Narrow mind full of hate.
On the road to no-where fast,
Till the Grace of God got in the way.
Then he saw the Light an' hit his knees an' cried an' said a prayer:
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 grain,
Love finds a way: some people change.
She was born with her mother's habit:
You could say: "It's in her blood."
She hates that she's gotta have it:
As she fills her glass up.
An she'd love to kill that bottle,
But all she can think about,
Is a, a better life, a second chance,
An' 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 grain,
Love finds a way: some people change.
Thank God for those who make it:
Let them be the Light.
(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)
Bad boy to the bone.
He'd say: "Can't trust that other fella,"
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin.
He was raised to think like his Dad:
Narrow mind full of hate.
On the road to no-where fast,
Till the Grace of God got in the way.
Then he saw the Light an' hit his knees an' cried an' said a prayer:
Rose up a brand new man; left the old one right there.
Don't give up hope: some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way: some people change.
You could say: "It's in her blood."
She hates that she's gotta have it:
As she fills her glass up.
An she'd love to kill that bottle,
But all she can think about,
Is a, a better life, a second chance,
An' everyone she's letting down.
She throws that bottle down.
Don't give up hope: some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way: some people change.
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.

I really like this song, it's so empowering.
I think this is about people coming back form war... but I have no idea, good song though 5/5
I like this version, but I like Kenny Chesney's version a lot better.
This song sends chills up my spine when I hear it. So many people have gone through so much because of some of the following: addiction, abuse, loss of a loved one, racism, etc. These things can consume a person and it is wonderful to see people come out of it and make that "change". I prayed that my brother would be one of those people...but I was wrong. He didn't make it. I remember one day I was praying, I wanted God to heal him (break him from his addiction to alcohol). I must admit that I had my doubts. I saw my brother go through many "bad days". Actually, the majority of his days were bad. Then one day, I felt God put this on my heart - "Stop waiting for him to 'mess up' and believe that I'm changing him." Wow, that hit me hard!!! When my brother died in a car accident last year, my heart ached and I couldn't understand why God would let that happen. I had a very personal relationship with God and I believed (and still believe) that He hears me when I pray, but I couldn't understand how Him taking my brother could be an answer to my prayer. Well, my brother is a better place now - and all those things are in the past...no more pain, no more sorrow, no more addiction - "changed" forever. When he was here, I prayed that he would be the "light" and help people see what God could do in one's life - so really, I understand what the words in this song mean. Some people change - and they come out of the predicament that they are in.
This song always reminds me of my grandfather. Everyone on his side of the family is a raging drunk and he was no exception. He was a military man and drank and fought and abused his many children. Many years later, he heard a priest speaking and realized what he was doing wrong. You can see in his eyes now that he's a different man. Some people really do change.
i like the kenny chesney version better on his "when the sun goes down" album
