This Land Is Your Land
(Chorus)
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 highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
I’ve roamed and rambled and I 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.
(Chorus)
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
As I went walking, I saw a sign there,
And on the sign is said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing; That side was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people;
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me?
(Chorus)
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back; This land was made for you and me.
