Woodstock

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

I asked him, where are you going?

And this he told me:

I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,

I'm going to join in a rock and roll band.

I'm going to camp out on the land

I'm going to try to get my soul free

CHORUS:

We are stardust, we are golden,

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

And can I walk beside you?

I have come here to lose the smog,

And I feel to be a cog in something turning.

Or maybe it's just the time of year,

Or maybe it's the time of man.

I don't know who I am,

But you know life is for learning.

CHORUS

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, a billion year old carbon,

We are golden caught in the devil's bargain

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
