Woodstock

Well I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

And I asked him 'Tell me where are you going?'

This he told me



Said 'I'm going down to Yasgur's farm

Gonna join in a rock and roll band

Got to get back to the land to set my soul free



We are stardust, we are golden

We are billion year old carbon

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden



Well then can I walk beside you

I have come to lose the smog

And I feel as I'm a cog in something turning

And maybe it's the time of year

Yes and maybe it's the time of man

And I don't know who I am

But life is for learning



We are stardust, we are golden

We are billion year old carbon

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden



We are stardust, we are golden

We are billion year old carbon

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden



By the time we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong

And everywhere was a song and celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bombers death planes

Riding shotgun in the sky

Turning into butterflies

Above our nation.



We are stardust, we are golden

We are caught in the devil's bargain

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
