America the Beautiful / This Land Is Your Land
[Intro]
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

[Verse 1]
As I went 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
As I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of your diamond deserts
While all around me, a voice came sounding
Saying, "This land was made for you and me."
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
The sun was shining as I was strolling
Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice came sounding, as the fog was lifting
Saying, "This land belongs to you and me."

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
