Underdog (Backing Track)

She was walking in the street looked up and noticed he was nameless he was homeless she

asked him his name and told him what hers was he gave her a story about life with a

glint in his eye and a corner of a smile one conversation a simple moment the things that

change us if we notice when we look up sometimes

They said I would never make it, but I was built to break the mold

The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

So I sing a song for the hustlers chasin' at the bus stop

Single mothers waitin' on a jet to come

Young teachers, student doctors

Sons on the front line knowin' they don't get to run

The school's up to the underdog

Keep on keepin' at what you love

love and you'll find that someday soon, Nina, you will rise up, rise up, yeah.

She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen, talking to the driver about his wife and his

children on a road from a country where they put you in prison for being a woman and speaking your

mind. And she looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled. One conversation, a single moment,

the things that change us if we notice when we look up sometimes

the only dream that i've been chasing is my own so i sing a song for the hustlers

treating at the bus stop single mothers waiting on a check to call young teachers

student doctors sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
