From California to the New York Island
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking the Rivenham Highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining,
And the wheat fields waving,
and the dusk clouds rolling
This land will be for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the redwood forest to
This land was made for you and
There was a big high wall
there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted, private property
That side was made for you and me
On a bright sunny mornin'
in the shadow of the steeple
By the reedy far bus I saw my people
I stood there wonderin' if
This land was really made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to
This land is made for you
I went down to that Oklahoma city
And I passed under the Crosstown I -40
Those are the ones we call
From California to the New
From the Redwood Forest to
This land will be for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New
Through the redwood forests,
through the Gulf Stream waters,
This land will be for you and me.
