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 Gulfstream Wa-ters
This land was made for you and me
VERSE 1:
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
VERSE 2:
I 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
VERSE 3:
There was a great high wall there that tried to stop me
There was a great big sign there says PRIVATE PROPERTY
But on the back side, it didn’t say nothing
That side was made for you and me
VERSE 4:
When the sun came shining, then 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:
Esta tierra es tuya, esta tierra es miya
Desde el horizonte hasta la otra orilla
Desde las montañas, costas, rio y valles
Esta tierra es para ti y para mi
VERSE 5:
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the Relief Office, I saw my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there wondering
If this land was made for you and me
VERSE 6:
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
