[Intro]
Em C G D
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em C G D
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Em C
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
G D
He was nameless, he was homeless
Gmaj7 Em C
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
G D
He gave her a story 'bout life
Em C
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
G D
One conversation, a simple moment
Gmaj7 Em C
The things that change us if we notice
G D
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
They said I would never make it
G D
But I was built to break the mold
Em C
The only dream that I've been chasing
D
is my own
[Chorus]
D Em C
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
D D
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Em C
Young teachers, student doctors
D G Gmaj7
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Em C
This goes out to the underdog
D G Gmaj7
Keep on keeping at what you love
Em C
You'll find that someday soon enough
D D
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Em C D G Gmaj7
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em C D G Gmaj7
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Em C
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
G Gmaj7
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
Em C
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
G D
For being a woman and speaking your mnd
Em C
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
D G
One conversation, a single moment
Gmaj7 Em C
The things that change us if we notice
D G
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7 Em C
They said I would never make it
D G
But I was built to break the mold
Gmaj7 Em C
The only dream that I've been chasing
D
is my own
[Chorus]
