Where Have All the Forests Gone?
Where have all the forests gone?
Short time passing.
Where have all the meadows gone?
Short time ago.
Where have all the animals gone?
Sussex has no room for them
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have waters clear gone?
Short time passing
Where have all the country roads gone?
Short time ago
Where have slower-lower-Delaware gone?
Dream of yester-year fleeting
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Why are streets big parking lots?
Short time passing
Why do people yell and scream?
Short time ago
Why can't we swim in the bay?
Ask P&Z what they've done
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
So, what are you going to do?
Short time passing
Will you sit and groan and moan?
Short time ago
We know we can bring our dream
Together we make Sussex home
We'll learn how we get there
We'll do what we can do
This land is your land and this land is my land
From Brandywine to the Fenwick island
From Ft. DuPont Park 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
Saw below the Delmarva Peninsula
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of Rehoboth Beach
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the corn fields waving, the Nanticoke River rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and 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
This land is your land and this land is my land
From Brandywine to the Fenwick island
From Ft. DuPont Park to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
