this land is your land, this land is my land
from california to the new york island
from the redwood forests the the gulf stream waters,
this land was made for you and me.
as i was walkin’ 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
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.
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.
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.
