[Verse1]
She was walking in the [Am]street, looked up and n[F]noticed
He was [G]was nameless, he was homeless[G]homeless
She asked him his[Am]his name and told him what[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 convers[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

[Verse2]
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 convers[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]
