- Lyrics:
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 I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
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
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side 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
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people
By the relief office I seen my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can ever 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 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

I am a black Muslim from Nashville and as much as it’s hard to be a black Muslim in Nashville, I love this country regardless. I think a lot of Americans forget that you can have critiques of your country but not *hate* it.
wow brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
my brother likes it
Thank you for your bravery and speaking - Bless you
Love you Picasso
Beautiful song
Love, from germany
My eight year old introduced me to this song. I heard him singing it in the bathtub and looked up lyrics to find it. I love this song. He is autistic and knew every single word. He loves this song. So now I love this song. We sung it together.
That's sweet brother
the whole song or the shortened version?

How did you not know about this song ? I'm 30 and I was taught this song in elementary school
✨💖✨🎊✨🇺🇲✨🎉
The legacy of that song will live within every red, white and blue American who listens.
The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a strong sense of patriotism while also carrying a message of social justice and equality, I am an African, specifically Kenyan I wish all of us could listen to it.
It summarizes what America is supposed to be and often has been. The original natives of this land. The refugees who founded Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The hundreds of peoples and cultures that found home here.
The United States is a large country and each part of it tells a unique story. It is a land full of some of the most beautiful natural wonders on our planet that the song invokes.
It invokes what we often *should* be. It reminds me what even with the hatred, anger, and inequality I still love my homeland. I don't think one can love their country without loving the people in it and wanting equality and equity for them.
For my Italian ancestor that fled here in the mid-1800s at 12-years-old because they were going to conscript him it was a land of peace and freedom. Sadly for slaves and their descendants, it hasn't been. A good example of two different things being true at the same time.
There is a Canadian version with lyrics that relate to Canada. You could write Kenyan lyrics for it.
bro you smart
God bless America and restore her to sanity, and soon.
So according to this song we should vote for a socialist?
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134dude I wish Biden was a socialist, but no you just keep using that buzzword without really knowing what it means
@@nathangeyer1032 I wish he was too, Woody Guthrie was a raging socialist
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 No
It's getting worse. Hopefully it will get better.
Graduated today, and while this song wasn't played out loud it did in my head because it was played at my 5th grade graduation... Congrats class of 2023!
Congratulations!
I’m class of 21
I'm class of 23
Congratulations! Strive for greatness and leave the world a better place than how you received it.
2017, we need more of us gen Z to wise up, be an true American friend
Our government forgot what America is
True
God bless America. God bless the land of the free man
Amen. Aju
GodBless America 🙏🇺🇲❤️🔥✝️🌿🕊️🍃✨
THIS SHOULD BE OUR COUNTRIE'S NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! RIP RFK!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! IT FULLFILLS THE EXAT AND HIGHESTPRINCIPLES OF OUR CONSTITUTION!!WHAT WE CLAIM TO BE!!
Whether you are from Africa or Asia or Europe or all the other lands of the world, America welcomes you with open arms.
Except from the souther border Mexicans. Haitians. Middle Eastern. And many more.
You mean countries or continents?Cause I don't think the islands
Nice to see the inclusion of the two verses normally omitted.
Well, one bright Sunday morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the relief line I saw my people
As they stood there whistlin' they stood there hungry
Don't they know that this land was made for you and me?
Well, as I was walking, I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me!
So much snark in that last verse 😅
My sister listens to this song and now I love it lol!
I'm not an American but these lyrics are beautiful..very moving ❤
It’s really strange, I was born in Mexico and was brought to the US to escape the violence and poverty in the 90’s. I was deported back to Mexico in 2013, but when I hear the national anthem and this song it makes me cry. I don’t know why but something in my unconscious triggers me to cry. Ive been in Mexico since with a beautiful house and family now. I don’t feel American for obvious reasons but I also don’t feel like a real Mexican because we have taste and lots of things different. It’s a weird feeling…
Do you feel like a mixture of both?
I totally understand. When I hear this song it makes me cry, because my parents immigrated to this country and sacrificed so much, and now I am blessed with so much because of their sacrifices.
@@caseycampbell4787wherever you are represent that country don’t go to another and wave a flag of a country you fled is all we ask for
This song is my favorite song since I was little
mine too.
Bravo! One of the few (almost) uncensored versions you can find on the internet. Pete Seeger, on the day of the Obama inauguration, dared to sing “private property”, instead of “no trespassing”, but even he had to censor the strophe on the relief office, ending, pay attention, with a question mark. Bravo!
Indeed! Long may Guthrie’s Music live on, and may we remember his meanings. Long live the worker!
Always makes me cry
She has a voice of a angel
I learned this from school, never herd it this beautiful🤩 only in third grade🤐😵😵💫
This land is all of ours and no one’s don’t watch it starve to death and dry up
When I was in second grade my teacher what always play this in my school it is so beautiful it makes me cry
Love the song, the voice(s), and the imagery chosen to represent America. Very well done. Thank you...
My music teacher put on this song i loved the song . we are going to stand of every single person their is 100,0000 people
SAME❤
This brings back memories of singing this with my chorus in the 4th grade. What a wholesome song.
Every red, white, and blue American would do well to remember these words in the voting booth in 2024. The very existence of our nation, as we know and love her, may be at stake.
fair point
Ok
@@abelmedrano ok
Amen
Let's get President Trump back in office. TRUMP2024
Love this Song 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I listen to this song every day at music
I sung this song in Elementary School & Now that I'm grown I know this song means the government will take everything from you
I started thinking about the natives and this song came to mind. Beautiful country with a bloodshed past but I love it no less.
😢❤😢
I listen to this at school and everyone sings along this song is beautiful
Same this was my favorite song and it gave me so much memories
So do I it makes me wanna cry
God bless America
1st time I heard full length..Woody tells. The truth
Beautiful!!! I learned this song in 2nd grade. It just popped backed in my head all of a sudden.
Beautiful inspiring song. Mr. X
This is the song I think of when one of my favorite teachers left our elementary school to work at another school 😢I still feel like crying every time
THE BEAUTY OF THE NATURAL WORLD IS UNPARALLELED
This makes me cry
🌄🙋🏿♂️💓🤲🏿🌻
Great song and rendition. So peaceful. Thank you.
I love this country and our God given rights.
"God Bless America"
Ironic. Woody Guthrie wrote this song in response to "God bless America" which he considered being out of touch with reality :)
when did this 1940s song become so woke
@@xanderkruger4904When it was made by a raging socialist
@@xanderkruger4904 the writer was a out spoken socialist
@@xanderkruger4904 Woody was a communist, this is about land being for everyone and not one man alone, yes, this is more than woke dude, this is revolutionary, decrease yourself somewhere else please.
I woke up this morning from a dream, I had this song on my heart. As I researched the song, I learned the the author of the song, Woodie Guthrie, actually wrote it in protest to God Bless America, because he felt God Bless America did not deal with the plight of the natives this land was stolen from, the Africans on whose backs this country was built on, and the other poor people who couldn't really enjoy it or ever be able to afford to own property. Needless to say, I actually love both this song, and God bless America, and regardless of Guthrie's protest of God Bless America, I believe that that Natives of this land and the African were horribly mistreated, and I would like to see a full and sincere repentance and reconciliation of all parties.
It wasn't until I read the full lyrics of this song, specifically the part about the "Diamond Deserts", that I actually remembered my dream.
In the dream, I was on the streets of America sharing the Gospel, when an Americam military officer approached me and let me know he did not believe in God and felt I was foolish for believing in Him and sharing my faith. I don't recall the actual words of our short conversation, but it ended with me politely letting him know I was going to continue witnessing, and though he was not happy about that, he turned and walked away and left me alone.
The original settlers that came to the shores of what we now call America, had the goal not to conquer this land militarily, but to share the Gospel, but eventually and sadly, others came to these shores with less righteous motivations. So let's get back to the intent of those original settlers, and preach the Gospel to EVERY creature in the Wonderfully Beautiful and All-Powerful name of Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew)!
came here from good girls, couldn't find it anywhere else :) thank you

We listen to this in school everyday
Me to

Good
The 1st grade sand this song for a assembly my grade sang Star Spangled Banner
me too in kindgarden
Anyone else singing this for Veterans Day and loves it?
I remember singing this song before school in the early 90s along with the pledge of allegiance. Makes me cry happy tears.
It makes me teary-eyed to listen to this song. It reminds me how deeply I love my homeland.
its actually the opposite lol woody gurthie was a well known socialist and challenged ideology such as private property and criticized its government to do more for the people. Deleted passages show otherwise the reason how it ended up a national anthem was with woody's manager/publisher who deleted passages of controversy and put them in kids book and kids would sing it and influence adults etc.
@@kraze719 The song sings about the beauty of the land (e.g. diamond deserts, sparkling sands, redwood forests, gulf stream waters) but does indeed mention the inequality in our society.
@sdebarber2997 sir when woody says this he refers to how internal displacement was during the Great Depression their was no inequality mentioned Woody was himself even a socialist and he critiques the government if u were to search and read the deleted passageways and actually at 2:45 it literally says"the relief office i seen my people as they stood hungry i stood there asking is this land made for you and me'? a literal nod to know how the Great Depression led to the hunger and utter questioning of the government. If you were to actually know real history you would also know up until 1941 pearl harbor created a sense of nationalism and thus before american people were distant to nationalism. The beauty of the land ur talking about is woody and other during the 30's why do u think in 0.43 he literally talks about him walking from far distances "there was a a big high wall there that tried to stop me a sign was painted said private property". by woody himself that was deleted and clearly not sung here face it dude the U.S.A can suck sometimes.
@@kraze719 I'm not disagreeing that the song has social justice bits to it in some of the verses. It makes me love it even more.
But downplaying how he describes the land as beautiful, which is most of the song, speaks to his love for his homeland. The "no trespassing" sign verse and the one about the his people in line at the relief office speaks to things he wishes were different. I would argue that ties in love of his homeland as well because he's wanting social justice for everyone.
Guthrie grew up during the Great Depression on a farm destroyed by the Dust Bowl.
As for nationalism, the rise of nationalism began just before WWI and followed the rise of fascism in the United States. Back when Charles Lindberg was considering a presidential run for the fascist "America First Party". That was the era most of the civil war monuments we deal with today were built, the Klan reached its membership peak, and anti-immigrant hysteria ran rampant.
WWII actually began to calm much of that down. Patriotism rose, but patriotism and nationalism aren't the same thing. Nationalism is a state worshipping authoritarian cult. Patriotism is a love of your homeland and its people. I would argue measures such as supporting universal healthcare, civil rights, justice, and workers rights are all true patriotism.
Nationalists often hijack patriotism.
I have no doubt Guthrie loved his homeland and the people in it. The lyrics show as much. He also wrote the song in part because he thought God Bless America was too nationalist.
@@charlesdebarber2997 he absolutetly did not he wasn't his other songs would say otherwise and his stance he did hate facist which is an extreme version of nationalist. and patriotism and nationalism are under the same umbrella and that didnt change up until pearl harbor. Woody is literally not talking about the beauties of our countries he literally mocks it if u were to search up the deleted ballot and his other works.
My music teacher put it on I liked it and we are going to stand of every single person and there is 10,000 million people
What a beautiful female voice, what a beautiful song!
Love USA from Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇲
I'm a music teacher and am so thankful for your beautiful, smooth production of this song. It helps my classes go from "red zone" to "green zone" almost immediately. You can feel their tension leaving and see them calming. Thank you!
Me too
I love it to but it really racist if you look in to it
Hi
Teacher
What do you mean by red and green zone?
💯❤️🤍💙🇺🇸Love this!!
" This land was made for you and me"

I’m loving this song❤❤ and when my teacher put this song I liked it
omg love it so much great job i love it so much. I love this song so much this is your land and my land and really everyones land
Very nice version. All the verses.
Although I like seeing the smile on a 90 year old Pete Seeger singing this song in 2009 for the presidential inauguration- I think this is the best presentation of this song that I’ve seen in the past few days. I always revisit this on Memorial Day, along with The Ballad Of Ira Hayes video that shows pictures of Ira, newspaper clippings, and quotes from Ira. One of the things that makes the USA better than other nations is that we’re not afraid to look back and see where we’ve done wrong. We are headed to becoming a melting pot of both people and ideals, and the food that will come out of that will nourish the whole world. Sure it might not look like it right now, but keep in mind that it never looked like it would in the past either 🇺🇸
Yes!!! Thank you for including the last verses! Your voice is amazing btw!!
Such a beautiful song. This land was truly made for you and me
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
People who misses Veterans Day

The music and images were combined so well! Thank you!
My second graders are performing this song in school, but it is too long for them. I am trying to make a shorter karaoke video that fit my class and display when my students sing. May I wonder if I could use some of the images from this video?
Awesome and so relaxing 😌

This song is absolutely unique and it rings deeply true for everyone, everywhere. I love it.
