[Verse]
I hear the cry
ing of the hun
gry in the des
erts where the
y're wandering
Hear they're c
rying out for
heaven’s own b
enevolence upo
n them
Hear destructi
ve power preva
iling, I hear
fools falsely
hailing
To the crooked
wits of tyran
ts when they c
all
I hear them al
l, I hear them
all, I hear t
hem all
I hear the sou
nds of tearing
pages and the
roar of burni
ng paper
All the crimes
and acquisiti
on turn to air
and ash and v
apor
And the rattle
of the shackl
e far beyond e
mancipator
And the loneli
est who gather
in their stal
ls
I hear them al
l, I hear them
all, I hear t
hem all
[Interlude]
So while you s
it and whistle
dixie with yo
ur money and y
our power
I can hear the
flowers growi
ng in the rubb
le of the towe
rs
I hear leaders
quit their ly
ing, I hear ba
bies quit thei
r crying
I hear soldier
s quit their d
ying one and a
ll
I hear them al
l, I hear them
all, I hear t
hem all
[Interlude]
[Verse]
As I was walki
ng a ribbon of
highway
I saw above me
an endless sk
yway
I saw below me
a golden vall
ey
This land was
made for you a
nd me
This land is y
our land, and
this land is m
y land
From Californi
a, to the New
York Island
From the Redwo
od Forest, to
the Gulf strea
m waters,
this land was
made for you a
nd me
As I went walk
in' - I saw
a sign there
And on the one
side - said n
o tress passin
'
When i looked
on the other s
ide .... it d
idn't say noth
in!
Now this land
was made for y
ou and me!
This land is y
our land, and
this land is m
y land
From Californi
a, to the New
York Island
From the Redwo
od Forest, to
the Gulf strea
m waters,
this land was
made for you a
nd me
I hear them al
l, I hear them
all, I hear t
hem all… (rais
e voice)
I hear them al
l, I hear them
all, I hear t
hem all…
