Woodstock
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
This is what he told me
He said, "I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock-and-roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
And try and get my soul free"
He said, "We are stardust"
He said, "We are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden"
I asked him, "Can I walk beside you?
I've come here to lose the smog
I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
'Round and 'round and 'round"
Well, maybe it's just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning
I know we're stardust
I think we're golden
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 you looked, there was song and celebration
That night I dreamed, I saw the bombers
Up there ridin', shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies up above our nation
We are stardust
Come from billion-year-old carbon
We are golden
We just got caught up in some devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
This is what he told me
He said, "I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock-and-roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
And try and get my soul free"
He said, "We are stardust"
He said, "We are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden"
I asked him, "Can I walk beside you?
I've come here to lose the smog
I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
'Round and 'round and 'round"
Well, maybe it's just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning
I know we're stardust
I think we're golden
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 you looked, there was song and celebration
That night I dreamed, I saw the bombers
Up there ridin', shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies up above our nation
We are stardust
Come from billion-year-old carbon
We are golden
We just got caught up in some devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
