our land

i haven't been inspired to write in a while. a song inspired me just now. i've been singing around the house for years now, and here's one i particularly like:

This land is your land

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 NY islands
From the redwood forests
To the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

Well I roamed and I rambled
Followed my footsteps to
The sparkling sands of
Her Diamond deserts
While all around me
A voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

Well the sun came shining
And I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting
A voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus


it reminded me to stay grounded in the concept of 'our land' as the politicians are campaigning for president. no matter how you look at it - democrat, republican, etc. - the point is to improve 'our land.' i hope we'll get the best person for the job.

don't forget to vote!
