Lyrics

Woodstock

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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"

I'm going to try and get my soul free

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 in the devil's bargain

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden
