One of my heroes growing up was Woody Guthrie because he traveled from place to place singing and sharing music. He has so many great songs - but I included this one because it has a special place in the heart of our culture.
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!
I’ve roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling edges of her diamond desserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me!
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me!
