Against all odds, against the grain
Rose up a brand new man
And cried and said a prayer
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin
(Some people change)
He was raised to think like his dad
Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Left the old one right there
Narrow mind full of hate
And everyone she's letting down
Don't give up hope, some people change
Till the grace of God got in the way
Against all odds, against the grain
Love finds a way, some people change
She throws that bottle down
Thank God for those who make it
Against all odds, against the grain
She hates that she's gotta have it
Is a, a better life, a second chance
She was born with her mother's habit
On the road to no where fast
She'd love to kill that bottle
You could say, it's in her blood
Let them be the light, let them be the light
But all she can think about
Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope, some people change
Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Love finds a way, some people change
As she fills her glass up
Don't give up hope, some people change
He'd say, "Can't trust that other fella"
Then he saw the light and hit his knees
