Kevin Johnson - It's a Hard World lyrics

I come into the city with nothing, Hoping that one day the front doors of fortune would open, And I'd taste of things I never tasted before. I come into this city with nothing but yearning, But slowly the fires within me stopped burning, When I found out things I should have found our before. It's a hard world where no-one knows you, And no-one bothers to look your way, Unless they want something, Unless they need something, Unless they see a laugh or two, It's a hard world where no-one wants you, And no-one gives you the time of day, So you can run around and chase your dreams, But you will never find a friend that way. I see people like me with nothing, Fighting their way through the jungle of bright neon lighting, Searching for something they're never likely to find, I see people like me alone and forsaken, Who thought the good things were there for the taking, But found the good things had gone and left them behind.
