Chorus:
"This land is your land, this land is my
land
From Cornwall's
beaches to the Scottish islands
From Sherwood Forest to our coastal
waters
This land was made for you and me"
As I walked on... down its timeless byways
I saw above me... pure azure skyways
I saw below me... a moorland
valley
And I knew that this land was made for you and me
Chorus:
I've roamed and rambled... tracing my footsteps
By the sparkling waters... of her lakes and rivers
And all around me... a voice was booming
This land was made for you and me
Chorus:
The sun was shining... whilst I was strolling
The corn fields waving.. and the white clouds rolling
The day was dawning... that voice intoning
This land was made for you and me
Chorus:
By the roadside... I saw a signpost
Painted on one side it said - "No trespassing!"
But on the other
side ... it didn't say nothin
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus:
In the city centre... in the steeple's
shadow
I can see my people... of all creeds and colours
And some are grumbling… and some are wondering
If there's still room here... for you and me
But as long as we've got freedom... to roam and ramble
With respect for justice.. and diversity
Where we can speak our minds... with no fear of reprisal
Then this land's still made for you and me
Chorus:
No-one
living… could ever stop me
From walking freely… on those sacred pathways
And there’s no-one alive… who could ever hold me back
For this land was made for you and me
