And how we dream and turn our arms to nothing
oh we sing lay down for all and leave mine away

so lay me the valley of the dead
long ago while I share my dream
say, share them with the others why
sometimes it seems we're only
here to stomp away the lies

I had a dream that we would sail
across blue oceans clean and high
say nothing will believe and lie
and I take my hand over there
led me to your outside, yeah

now I leave you there
I leave you quietly
if you say promise that your leadings
and I'll change all the way that we, we read

I went to sail across the wild ocean blue
trying to find the wisdom
that my mother sang devotion to me
so all the fish were bursting
and all were lying belly up
and the beached whale sighs
and thinks he can get enough

Way of the land, I would be over it
Then pay from the hand of all

I say this land is our 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 for you and me
