This Land is Our Land

So, Thursday afternoons can get a little tedious at work after some energy cookies (don't ask, not sure what they are) and two dixie cups (largest size cup here) of green tea. I began humming "This Land is Your Land..." My coworker turned to me and said "Oh! I love this song!"

I asked her why she loved one of America's national songs and she said that it was an Indian song. Well apparently, India has a version too. It goes:

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From the Himalaya, down to Cape Comorin.
From Bombay City to Old Calcutta -
This land is made for you and me.

Well, now we are both deleriously singing our versions. By the way, I confirmed it is really American though.
