[1974]
Scritta da Neil Sedaka e Phil Cody
Nell’album “Sedaka's Back”

“At that time we were starting to see immigration problems. I think I was watching a news report, and I remember thinking, That's not the way Americans treat people who come to our country. And I wanted to write about that. I was put off by the Vietnam War and how our stance in the world just didn't seem friendly and welcoming. And I wanted to write nostalgically about my father's period when he came, feeling such promise and hope.” (da un’intervista a Phil Cody riportata da Songfacts)

L’idea dell’altro autore del brano, Neil Sedaka, era invece quello di esprimere la propria solidarietà a John Lennon, che proprio in quel periodo se la stava passando brutta con il governo USA, intenzionato a deportarlo per via della sua attività politica. Lennon rimase soggetto a decreto di espulsione dalla primavera del 1973 fino al 1975.
