Woodstock

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

And I asked him, where are you going

And this he told me...

I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm

I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band

I'm going to camp out on the land

And then try and get my soul free



Chorus*

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden



Then can I walk beside you

I have come here to lose the smog

And I feel to be a cog in something turning

Well maybe it is just the time of year

Or maybe it's the time of man

I don't know who l am

But you know life is for learning



*

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden



By the time we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong

And everywhere there was song and celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bombers

Riding shotgun in the sky

And they were turning into butterflies

Above our nation



*

We are stardust -

Billion-year-old carbon -

We are golden

Caught up in the devil's bargain

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden
