This Land is Your Land

This land is your land, and this land is my land

From the 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 went walking that ribbon of highway

I saw above me that endless skyway

Saw below me the golden valley

This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

All around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, and 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
