She was walking in the street

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

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

You will rise up, rise up, yeah

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
When we look up sometimes
