"this land is your land" lyrics

This one goes out to the country that I love

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

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 lively
Until an ICE truck pulls up right beside me
The 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
By the relief office, I'd see my people
They stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land really made for you and me?

Nobody living can never stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
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

This land was made for you and me
