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 an' 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
|
