Lyrics
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

yay! I love this song and think its great that it sneaks a smidge of socialism (even if not the whole song) into most american elementary school music appreciation classes.

Oh yeah. Frankly? I'm thinking that this should be our national anthem.
