One of those days   That just comes and goes   It's not so special      She watches the birds   Shat rest on a ledge   Outside her room      The wallpaper old and faded   A crack in the window pane   The radio just keeps playing   Playing that same old song      She smiles to herself   They think that I'm strange   They say I'm a dreamer      But I don't complain   Though I don't have much   To call my own      She's not a movie star, no   She's not a beauty queen   She'll tell you it doesn't matter   She's not the only one      She says, "I know a place   Where I keep the best of things   I'm not gonna wait   For my piece of heaven"      "And where there's a road   Leads to the promised land   I just turn the key   Key to the kingdom"      She stares at the page   Of a new magazine   The morning papers      She walks into town   And catches a show   If she can find the time      She's not a movie star, no   She's not a beauty queen   She'll tell you it doesn't matter   She's not the only one      She says, "I know a place   Where I keep the best of things   I'm not gonna wait   For my piece of heaven"      "And where there's a road   Leads to the promised land   I just turn the key   Key to the kingdom"      I know a place   Where I keep the best of things   I'm not gonna wait   For my piece of heaven      Where there's a road   It leads to the promised land   I just turn the key   Key to the kingdom      I know a place   Where I keep the best of things   I'm not gonna wait   For my piece of heaven      And where there's a road   Leads to the promised land   I just turn the key   Key to the kingdom      I know a place   Where I keep the best of things   I'm not gonna wait   For my piece of heaven      Where there's a road   It leads to the promised land   I just turn the key   Key to the kingdom
