[Eb] She was walking in the street, looked [Ab] up and noticed.
He [C] was nameless, he [Eb] was homeless.
She asked him his name and told him [Ab] what hers was.
He gave her [G] a story about life with a glint [Cm] in his eye.
And a corner of a smile, one conversation.
A simple [Eb] moment, [Bb] the things [Cm] that change us.
If we notice when we look up [Bb] sometimes.
[Eb] They said I would never make it.
But I was built to break the mold.
The only dream that I've been chasing is [Bb] my own.
So I sing a song [Cm] for the hustlers.
Trading [Ab] at the bus stop, [Bb] single mothers.
Waiting [Eb] on a jet [Bb] to come, [Cm] young teachers.
[Ab] Students after sons [Bb] on the front line.
Knowing [Eb] they don't get [Bb] to run.
[Cm] This goes up [Ab] to the underdog.
[Bb] Keep on keeping [Eb] at what [Bb] you love.
And [Cm] you'll find that [Ab] someday soon enough.
You [Bb] will rise up, rise up.

_ [Eb] [Bb] She's riding [Cm] in a taxi back to the kitchen.
Talking to the driver [Eb] about his wife and his children.
On a run from a country where they put [Ab] you in prison.
For being a woman, [Eb] you speak in your mind.
She looked in his eyes in the mirror [Ab] and he smiled.
One [Eb] conversation, a single moment.
The things [Cm] that change us.
[Ab] If we notice when [Eb] we look up [Bb] sometimes.
[Cm] They said I _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb].
