                           Cm
She was walking in the street, looked
          Ab
up and noticed
          Eb                 Bb Ebmaj7
He was nameless, he was homeless
                   Cm
She asked him his name and told him
         Ab
what hers was
                Eb           Bb
He gave her a story 'bout life
                     Cm
With a glint in his eye and a corner of
     Ab
a smile
            Eb                Bb Ebmaj7
One conversation, a simple moment
                  Cm               Ab
The things that change us if we notice
           Eb          Bb
When we look up sometimes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Cm             Ab
They said I would never make it
             Eb                 Bb
But I was built to break the mold
             Cm                    Ab
The only dream that I've been chasing
       Bb
is my own
 
 
[Chorus]
                          Cm
So I sing a song for the hustlers
                 Ab
trading at the bus stop
        Bb
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
            Cm               Ab
Young teachers, student doctors
             Bb
Sons on the front line knowing they
         Eb    Ebmaj7
don't get to run
   Cm                      Ab
This goes out to the underdog
  Bb                  Eb       Ebmaj7
Keep on keeping at what you love
          Cm                      Ab
You'll find that someday soon enough
            Bb
You will rise up, rise up, yeah

On the run from a country where they
               Ab
put you in prison

mind
                    Cm
