MY CALIFORNIA
I grew up among the redwoods
on a lost coast somewhere
Where the fog keeps rolling in
The air is misty grey
and the sun got lost somewhere
No one wonders where it’s been
Right here there’s a reckless sea and endless sky

This is my California, my California
This is my Hallelujah
I applaud and thank you, God, for California

Watch out for acorns, bare feet on Rincon Trail
Where creaking cypress sway
The ocean’s green and shining along the lighthouse rail
Tides signal the closing of the day
Right here there’s a reckless sea and endless sky

This is my California, my California
This is my Hallelujah, I applaud and thank you, God, for California

The sky fills over San Juan Capistrano
As the swallows take to flight
The crashing waves echo along the sunset cliffs
And Catalina lights up the night

This is my California, my California
This is my Hallelujah
I applaud and thank you, God, for California
