This Land was made for You and Me lesson

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (by Woody Guthrie)

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.

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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