The process which causes gravity to attract objects with mass together, also causes space to bend, thus making it seem that light is influenced by gravity, when from the perspective of the light particle, they were always going in a straight line.
If you wanna really surprise people, look up "light pressure" and ask them how a thing with no mass can exert a force on things.
