     Am   F 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
          G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
     Am   G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
          G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 

                Am                      
She was walking in the street 
               F 
Looked up and noticed 
        G                  C   Bm7 
He was nameless, he was homeless 
                 Am                      F 
She asked him his name and told him what hers was 
                 G 
He gave her a story 'bout life 
                    Am                      F 
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile 
          G                  C  Bm7 
One conversation, a simple moment 
                Am                 F 
The things that change us if we notice 
         G 
When we look up sometimes 

         Am             G 
They said I would never make it 
          G                C  Bm7 
But I was built to break the mold 
          Am                   F             G   
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own 

                         Am                      F 
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop 
         G                  C   Bm7 
Single mothers waiting on a check to come 
         Am             F    
Young teachers, student doctors 
             G                                C  Bm7 
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run 
 Am                  F 
This goes out to the underdog 
 G                       C  Bm7 
Keep on keeping at what you love 
       Am                 F 
You'll find that someday soon enough 
         G 
You will rise up, rise up, yeah 

       Am   F 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
            G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
       Am   G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
            G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 

                  Am               F 
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen 
               G                              C  Bm7 
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children 
                  Am                            F 
On the run from a country where they put you in prison 
            G 
For being a woman and speaking your mind 
                  Am                        F 
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled 
          G                  C  Bm7 
One conversation, a single moment 
                  Am            F 
The things that change us if we notice 
         G         C  Bm7
