I came upon a child of God We was walking along the road I asked him, where are you going? And this he told me
He said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm, Just join in a rock and roll band. Get back to the land and set my soul free.
(He said) we are stardust, we are golden, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
So 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.
Maybe it's just the time of year, Maybe it's the time of man. I don't know who I am, But life is for learning.
(And then)we are stardust, we are golden, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
We are stardust, we are golden, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong Everywhere you look there was a song and hope and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes Riding shotgun in the sky, Turning into butterflies Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
We are stardust,we are a 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.
