[Verse I]
Am Fmaj7
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
C G C
He was nameless, he was homeless
Cmaj7 Am Fmaj7
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
C G C G
He gave her a story 'bout life
Am Fmaj7
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
C G C
One conversation, a simple moment
Cmaj7 Am Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
C G C G
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Fmaj7
They said I would never make it
C G C G
But I was built to break the mold
Am Fmaj7 C G
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
[Chorus]
Am F
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
C G C Cmaj7
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Am Fmaj7
Young teachers, student doctors
G C Cmaj7
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Am Fmaj7
This goes out to the Underdog
G C Cmaj7
Keep on keeping at what you love
Am Fmaj7
You'll find that someday soon enough
C G C G
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Am F C G C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C G C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse II]
Am Fmaj7
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
C G C G
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
Am Fmaj7
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
C G
For being a woman and speaking your mind
Am Fmaj7
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
C G C G
One conversation, a single moment
Am Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
C G
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Fmaj7
They said I would never make it
C G C G
But I was built to break the mold
