Homer Steinweiss - Why Is It So Hard lyrics

Why is it so hard to make it in America? I tried so hard to make it in America A land of milk and honey, a land supposed to be built with love It takes love and understanding to live and let live I was born and raised in Florida I traveled far and wide Then I moved to Brooklyn New York Had hard times, but sometime I hold on Why is it so hard to make it in America? I tried so hard to make it in America Seemed like nothing is going right So I said to myself, you gotta move away from here I went of to state of New York, a little town they call Poughkeepsie Got me a job to get away from all that stress But I couldn't get away, no matter how far I went Seemed like nothing's gonna change Everything still remained the same Why is it so hard to make it in America? I tried so hard to make it in America Why is it so hard? Why is it so hard? Why is it so hard? Why is it so hard?
