Verse1
She was walking in the [Am] street, looked up and [F] noticed
He [G] was nameless, he was [G] homeless
She asked him [Am] his name and told him [F] what hers was
He gave her a [G] story 'bout life
With a glint in his [Am] eye and a corner of a [F] smile
One [G] conversation, a simple [C] moment [G]
The things that [Am] change us if we [F] notice
When we [G] look up sometimes
Pre-chorus
They said [Am] I would never [F] make it
But I was [G] built to break the [C] mold [G]
The only [Am] dream that I've been [F] chasing is my [G] own
Chorus
So I sing a song for the [Am] hustlers trading at the [F] bus stop
Single [G] mothers waiting on a [C] check to [G] come
Young [Am] teachers, student [F] doctors
Sons on the [G] front line knowing they don't [C] get to [G] run
[Am] This goes out to the [F] Underdog
[G] Keep on keeping at [C] what you [G] love
You'll [Am] find that someday [F] soon enough
You will [G] rise up, rise up, yeah
Post-chorus
[Am] Ooh, [F] ooh, [G] ooh [C] [G]
[Am] Ooh, [F] ooh, [G] ooh [C] [G]
Verse 2
She's riding in a [Am] taxi back to the [F] kitchen
Talking to the [G] driver 'bout his wife and his children [G]
On the run from a [Am] country where they put you in [F] prison
For being a [G] woman and speaking your mind
She looked in his [Am] eyes in the mirror and he [F] smiled
One [G] conversation, a single [C] moment [G]
The things that [Am] change us if we [F] notice
When we [G] look up sometimes
Pre-chorus
They said [Am] I would never [F] make it
But I was [G] built to break the [C] mold [G]
The only [Am] dream that I've been [F] chasing is my [G] own
Chorus
