- This land is your land, this land is my land
- From the Redwood Forest to the New York Island
- The Canadian mountain to the Gulf Stream waters
- This land is made for you and me.
- As I go walking this ribbon of highway
- I see above me this endless skyway
- And all around me the wind keeps saying:
- This land is made for you and me.
- I roam and I ramble and I follow my footsteps
- Till I come to the sands of her mineral desert
- The mist is lifting and the voice is saying:
- This land is made for you and me.
- Where the wind is blowing I go a strolling
- The wheat field waving and the dust a rolling
- The fog is lifting and the wind is saying:
- This land is made for you and me.
- Nobody living can ever stop me
- As I go walking my freedom highway
- Nobody living can make me turn back
- This land is made for you and me.
- – Woody Guthrie, This Land Is Your Land
God bless America on this Fourth of July.
No, it’s not my land, but like countless others around the world, I find a lot to admire about America.
