this land is your land

Lyrics

[Intro] This one goes out to the country that I love [Chorus] 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 [Verse] So I went walking that 8 lane highway Blood pressure rising, alongside the crime rate Stress and depression, they show on my face This land was made for you and me I roamed and rambled And I followed my footprints Can't help but feel like we've all been hoodwinked But Uncle Sam says "That's not what you should think" This land was made for you and me The sun came shining, I'm feeling livеly Until an ICE truck pulls up right beside me Thе man inside wears a mask and wants my ID Huh This land was made for you and me Inside a prison, that's where they'll leave us They take our human rights away when they seize us And the people that support it speak of Jesus This land was made for you and me In the square of the city, in the shadow of a steeple 'Bout a really far fist, I'd see my people They're stood there hungry, I stood there askin' Is this land really made for you and me? Nobody livin' can never stop me As I go walkin' that freedom highway Nobody livin' can make me turn back This land was made for you and me [Chorus] 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 [Outro] This land was made for you and me
