Yvonne Glasgow There are a lot of great tracks on this wonderfulyl written anti-Trump album from Anders, but this is my all-time favorite. It's a catchy song that reminds you of what a dire situation our country is in. It combines some beautiful and painful, and frightening, lyrics, with a song everyone knows. It's a memorable song and Anders voice is smooth.

lyrics

I Hear Them All (This Land Is Your Land)
(© Guthrie)

I hear the crying of the hungry
In the deserts where they're wandering
Hear them crying out for Heaven's own
Benevolence upon them
Hear destructive power prevailing
I hear fools falsely hailing
To the crooked wits of tyrants when they call

I hear them all [3x]

I hear the sounds of tearing pages
And the roar of burning paper
All the crimes in acquisition
Turn to air and ash and vapor
And the rattle of the shackle
Far beyond emancipators
And the loneliest who gather in their stalls

I hear them all [3x]

So, while you sit and whistle Dixie
With your money and your power
I can hear the flowers a-growing
In the rubble of the towers
I hear leaders quit their lyin'
I hear babies quit their cryin'
I hear soldiers quit their dyin', one and all

I hear them all [3x]

[Instrumental]

Was a big high wall there
Tried to stop me.
The sign was painted,
said 'Private Property.'
But on the backside,
it didn't say nothing.
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.

There in the shadow, Of the ornate steeple,
By the relief office, I saw my people;
As they stood there hungry,
I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

Is this land your land? Is this land our land?
From California to the little Rhode island;
From the redwood forest
to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.

I hear them all [6x]
