01-NOV-2008 Harrison McClary

mcclary110108-009.jpg

The November Challenge is A Song, A Poem or A Proverb. I went to a church campfire pig roast tonight and I though this photo went well with Peter, Paul and Mary's "This land is your land" since I remember singing that around fires like this in youth group as a kid:

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, 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
And all around me a voice was singing
This land was made for you and me!

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me those golden valleys
This land was made for you and me!

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.

As the sun was shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying
"This land was made for you and me!"

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.

Very nicely done, feel of pride and friendship.

Now you've got me singing too! Lovely image of the campfire. It would also suit the song "I was born under a wandering star"!

Good mood and fine old song, though 'I dig rock´n roll music' (LOL).

Yes I remember that song many moons ago... love the campfire!

I too remmeber singing this at camp...great image. Wish they'd make the song our National Anthem, certainly more peaceful and easier to sing than the SSB.

Wonderful - like the fire lights ...
Guest 02-Nov-2008 07:53
