I sit by my porch, stare out the river
and I dream of those who may have wandered before
I wonder the families they have raised
in the years before my ancestors buried them here
well, say I will lay my heart at your feet
I say I will call it home

And from what I understand, it's a betrayal
repeated again and again by our fathers
we say that [?] as it now seems
the grave is what I call home

More than my fa--say to our new friends
you must move on, or we will bury you
we will bury you
from what I understand, said to our new friends
you must move on, or we will bury you
we will bury you

Oh, it's food you desire, it's food you will not have
it's land you require, it's land that you will not have
'cause rain as it may, your fields are burning
'cause rain as it may, you're gone

When a few hours, the question my father said
they moved on to avoid being buried
they're not buried
so from my father, I understand that
they all moved on or died where standing
where standing

This land is your land
this land is my land
from California
to the New York islands
from the Redwood Forest
to the Gulf Stream waters
this land was made
well, and I will call it home

[???]
and the way they rob me
and the way I'm walking now
I'll fight no more forever
here man I walked, and I walk with thee
here mama children bleeding
here and I will, I say to thee
I'll fight no more forever
