This Land is Your Land


This land is your land, This land is my land, From California To the New York island, From the Redwood Forest, To the Gulf stream waters, This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking, That ribbon of higway, I saw above me That endless skyway, I saw below me That golden valley. This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled And I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me.
The sun comes shining As I was strolling The wheat fields waving And the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me
As I was walkin' I saw a sign there And that sign said no tress passin' But on the other side It didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!
In the squares of the city In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office I see my people And some are grumblin' And some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.
Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking That freedom highway Nobody living can make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
