Lyrics and audio




This land is your land, and 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 went walking that ribbon of highway

And I saw above me that endless skyway

I saw below me that golden valley

This land was made for you and me


I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

All around me a voice was a-sounding

This land was made for you and me


There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me

Sign was painted, said, "Private Property"

But on the back side, it didn't say nothing

This land was made for you and me


When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting

This land was made for you and me


This land is your land, and this land is my land

From California to the New York Island

From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters

This land was made for you and me

Public Lands in Utah and everywhere are threatened by greedy forces

  
Public lands are under threat of mining, drilling, logging, and most catastrophically, there are concrete plans to sell our public national forests, nature preserves, natural parks, range lands, and most to  developers or private citizens.
