This Land Is Your Land

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 Gulf¹ 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 rambled² 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 Trespassing³."
    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.
