http://www.google.comPete Seeger & Bruce Springsteen: "This Land Is Your Land"
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 that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,
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 was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
This land was made for you and me.
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?

Barack Obama Inauguration Opening Concert - Pete Seeger & Bruce Springsteen "This Land is Our Land" 1/18/09
And below is one of my favorites from that day...
Edited to add: The 'little girl' at the :42 second mark behind Obama (to Obama's right) wiggling her tongue is Obama's sister Maya's little girl (Obama's niece)
And you can see Obama's sister Maya (to Obama's left) real good at the 1:24 minute mark
I wish we would hear more about Maya and her family. Maya and her husband and kids moved to DC for a bit after Obama's inauguration but I'm not sure if they are still there or not.

Just saw Arlo Guthrie on the TV, a Woodstock retrospective. I saw Arlo live in concert once. He was on a double bill with Judy Collins.
