Verse 1:
                       Cm                     Ab
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
       Bb                       Bb 
He was nameless, he was homeless
                 Cm                     Ab
She asked him his name and told him what hers was

He gave her a story 'bout life
                    Cm                    Ab
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
           Bb               Eb       Bb 
One conversation, a simple moment
                Cm              Ab
The things that change us if we notice
        Bb
When we look up sometimes

          Cm            Ab
They said I would never make it
          Bb                  Eb     Bb 
But I was built to break the mold
         Cm                   Ab             Bb
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

Chorus:
                         Cm                      Ab
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
       Bb                    Eb        Bb 
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
      Cm                Ab
Young teachers, student doctors
            Bb                             Eb      Bb 
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Cm                   Ab
This goes out to the Underdog
Bb                  Eb        Bb 
Keep on keeping at what you love

Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
                  Cm                            Ab
On the run from a country where they put you in prison

For being a woman and speaking your mind
                  Cm                        Ab
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
           Bb               Eb       Bb 
One conversation, a single moment
