Verse 1 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 Chorus This is my California, My California This is my Hallelujah applaud and thank you, God for California Verse 2 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 Chorus This is my California, My California This is my Hallelujah applaud and thank you, God for California Verse 3 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 Chorus This is my California, My California This is my Hallelujah applaud and thank you, God for California Outro (4x)
