Key To The City

Key To The City

Standing at the gate
Staring at my skin
If there's any chance at all
You'd have to say it's slim
It's hard to find a reason
Something to believe in
When you're on the outside lookin' in

Oh, but what do i have to do
To make them hear me
How do you find a way to move
The powers that be
Who would ever think of handing me
The key to the city

Sometimes late at night
The frustration's just too much
Even in my dreams
I can feel it building up
I hear my sneakers on cement
I feel my fingers grip the fence
I see the guard's asleep and i'm in luck

Chorus

Isn't there anyone out there who understands
All i've ever really asked for is a chance
Sometimes i can almost feel it in my hands
The key to the city

It's hard to find a reason
Something to believe in
When you're on the outside lookin' in

Oh, but what do i have to do
To make them hear me
How do you find a way to move
The powers that be
Who would ever think of handing me
The key to the city
The key to the city
