She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed

He was nameless, he was homeless
Am F
She asked him his name and told him what hers was

He gave her a story ’bout life
Am F
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
G C G
One conversation, a simple moment
Am F
The things that change us if we notice

When we look up sometimes

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

So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop

Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Am F
Young teachers, student doctors

Sons on the front line knowing they don’t get to run

This goes out to the Underdog

You’ll find that someday soon enough

She’s riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
G G
Talking to the driver ’bout his wife and his children

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

For being a woman and speaking your mind

She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled

The things that change us if we notice
