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
|
And set my soul free
|
|
{Refrain}
|
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 myself 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
|
|
{Refrain twice}
|
|
By the time we got to Woodstock
|
We were half a million strong
|
And everywhere was a song
|
And a celebration
|
|
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet 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
|
|
