She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed 
       G                       G/B 
He was nameless, he was homeless 
                 Am                     F 
She asked him his name and told him what hers was 
              G 
He gave her a story 'bout life 
                    Am                    F 
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile 
           G               C       G/B 
One conversation, a simple moment 
                Am              F 
The things that change us if we notice 
        G 
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Ritornello]
          Am            F 
They said I would never make it 
          G                  C     G/B 
But I was built to break the mold 
         Am                   F             G 
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
[Ritornello]
                         Am                      F 
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop 
       G                    C        G/B 
Single mothers waiting on a check to come 
      Am                F 
Young teachers, student doctors 
            G                             C      G/B 
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run 
Am                   F 
This goes out to the Underdog 
G                  C        G/B 
Keep on keeping at what you love 
       Am                F 
You'll find that someday soon enough 
         G 
You will rise up, rise up, yeah

She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen 
               G                                      G/B 
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children 
                  Am                            F 
On the run from a country where they put you in prison 
            G 
For being a woman and speaking your mind 
                  Am                        F 
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled 
           G               C       G/B 
One conversation, a single moment 
                Am              F
