[Intro]
Am F COoh, ooh, ooh
Am F COoh, ooh, ooh
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am FShe was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
G GHe was nameless, he was homeless
Am FShe asked him his name and told him what hers was
GHe gave her a story 'bout life
Am FWith a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
G C GOne conversation, a simple moment
Am FThe things that change us if we notice
GWhen we look up sometimes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am FThey said I would never make it
G C GBut I was built to break the mold
Am F GThe only dream that I've been chasing is my own
 
 
[Chorus]
Am FSo I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
G C GSingle mothers waiting on a check to come
Am FYoung teachers, student doctors
G C GSons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Am FThis goes out to the Underdog
G C GKeep on keeping at what you love
Am FYou'll find that someday soon enough
GYou will rise up, rise up, yeah
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am F G C GOoh, ooh, ooh
Am F G C GOoh, ooh, ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am FShe's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
G GTalking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
Am FOn the run from a country where they put you in prison
GFor being a woman and speaking your mind
Am FShe looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
G C GOne conversation, a single moment
Am FThe things that change us if we notice
GWhen we look up sometimes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am FThey said I would never make it
G C GBut I was built to break the mold
Am F GThe only dream that I've been chasing is my own
