about

Aug 10th, 2018. I sat down and re-wrote lyrics of Woody Guthrie’s song “This Land Is Your Land” with my friends Paul Zach and Orlando Palmer just one day shy of the Unite The Right Rally one year anniversary. The purpose was to write lyrics that told the origin story of America. There are a lot of reasons to celebrate being American but one thing that must first be talked about is the history. Healing can’t begin without first acknowledge the gapping wound created by the colonization, the mass genocide of the Indigenous people, and the enslavement of African slaves. There is still much work to be done.

lyrics

This land is your land
This land is my land
From california
To the Texas border
Through Juarez mountains
with the migrant caravans
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land
This land is my land
From piers of Charleston
To fields of cotton
From the crowded prisons
The streets of Ferguson
This land was made for you and me

Ooos x2

This land is your land
This land is my land
From the Jamestown landing
To Lakota badlands
From the trail of tears
To the reservations
This land was made for you and me
