It’s the Fourth of July. And here’s a song to go with it — This Land Is Your Land performed by more than 1,800 guitar-plucking singers in Concord, California, setting a new world record, according to the YouTube video. I love this song by Woody Guthrie. It makes you feel good, just like America.

This land is your land, 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,

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway,
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve 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

The sun comes shining as I was strolling,
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
The fog was lifting, a voice came chanting,
This land was made for you and me

As I was walkin’,  I saw a sign there,
And that sign said: “No trespassing”.
But on the other side  …. it didn’t say nothing!
Now that side 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.
