_______

 

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.

 

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.
