As I was walkin
There was a sign there
And on the sign said
No Trespassing
But on the other side
It didn't say nothin
That side was made
For you and me
One bright sunny mornin
In the shadow of the steeple
At the relief office
I seen my people
As they stood hungry
I stood there wonderin
If God blessed America
For me
This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf stream waters
This land was made
For you and me
--Woody Guthrie
Of course, it is the genius of America to turn a radical song like this into a celebration of our national parks.
