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
