wheat fields waving; dust clouds rolling...

 On most 4th-of-Julys, I think of this song - on You Tube, video titled:

This Land is Your Land

...play it and enjoy!  :  )

... As I went walking,

That ribbon of highway,

I saw above me

That endless sky-way

I saw below me

That golden valley

This Land was made for you and me

This Land is your land

This Land is my land

From California

To the New York islands

From the redwood forests,

To the Gulf stream waters,

This Land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled

And I 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.

This Land is your land,

This Land is my land,

From California

To the New York islands

From the redwood forests,

To the Gulf stream waters,

This Land was made for you and me.

As the sun came shining,

And I was strolling - 

And the wheat-fields waving,

And the dust-clouds rolling

And the fog was lifting,

And a voice was chanting,

This Land was made for you and me

This Land is your land

This Land is my land

From California

To the New York islands.

From the redwood forests,

To the Gulf stream waters,

This Land was made for you and me.

Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, at Newport Folk Festival in the 1960s
