Lyrics
This land is your land and this land is my land
This land is collectively owned and shared by all individuals.
From California to the New York island
Encompassing the entire nation from the west coast (California) to the east coast (New York island).
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
Extending from the dense redwood forests to the flowing waters of the Gulf Stream.
This land was made for you and me.
Emphasizes that the purpose of this land is to serve everyone equally.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
Reflects on a journey along a symbolic path or road.
I saw above me that endless skyway
Observation of an endless skyway, suggesting vast possibilities and opportunities.
Saw below me that golden valley
Notices a beautiful valley below, symbolizing abundance and prosperity.
This land was made for you and me
Reiterates the idea that the land is designed for the benefit of everyone.
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
Describes personal exploration and following one's own path.
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
Travels to the picturesque diamond deserts, emphasizing the diverse beauty of the land.
All around me a voice was sounding
Hearing a collective voice around, possibly representing the shared connection to the land.
This land was made for you and me.
Reaffirms that the land is intended for the enjoyment and use of all.
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
Experiencing a joyful moment under the sun while strolling.
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
Observing the natural beauty of wheat fields and the movement of dust clouds, portraying the agricultural richness of the land.
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
Hearing a chant as the fog lifts, suggesting a shared and uplifting spirit.
This land was made for you and me.
Reiterates that the land is designed for the benefit of everyone.
This land was made for you and me.
Reaffirms the collective ownership and purpose of the land.
