THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

CHORUS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSE 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSE 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSE 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t say nothing
That side was made for you and me<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

VERSE 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHORUS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta tierra es tuya, esta tierra es miya
Desde el horizonte hasta la otra orilla
Desde las monta\u00f1as, costas, rio y valles
Esta tierra es para ti y para mi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSE 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VERSE 6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
