She was walking in the [Cm]street, looked up and [Ab]noticed

He was [Bb]nameless, he was [Eb]homeless

She [Bb/D]asked him his [Cm]name and told him what [Ab]hers was

He gave her a [Bb]story 'bout life

With a glint in his [Cm]eye and a corner of a [Ab]smile

One conversa[Bb]tion, a simple mo[Eb]ment

The [Bb/D]things that [Cm]change us if we [Ab]notice

When we [Bb]look up sometimes

 

They said [Cm]I would never make[Ab] it

But I was [Bb]built to break the mold

The only [Cm]dream that I've been [Ab]chasing is my [Bb]own

 

So I sing a song for the [Cm]hustlers trading at the [Ab]bus stop

Single [Bb]mothers waiting on a [Eb]check to come[Bb/D]

Young [Cm]teachers, student [Ab]doctors

Sons on the [Bb]front line knowing they don't [Eb]get to [Bb/D]run

This[Cm] goes out to the [Ab]underdog

[Bb]Keep on keeping at [Eb]what you [Bb/D]love

You'll [Cm]find that someday [Ab]soon enough

You will [Bb]rise up, rise up, yeah

She's [Bb/D]riding in a [Cm]taxi back to the [Ab]kitchen

Talking to the [Bb]driver 'bout his wife and his [Eb]children

On the [Bb/D]run from a [Cm]country where they put you in [Ab]prison

For being a [Bb]woman and spea[N.C.]king your mind

She looked in his [Cm]eyes in the mirror and he [Ab]smiled

One conversa[Bb]tion, a single mo[Eb]ment

The [Bb/D]things that [Cm]change us if we [Ab]notice

When we [Bb]look up some[Eb]times[Bb/D]

 

They said [Cm]I would never [Ab]make it
