I came upon a child of God,
He was walking along the road,
When I asked him, "Where are you going?"
This he told me:
"I'm going down to Yasgur's farm,
Think I'll join a rock ' roll band,
I'll camp out on the land,
I'll try and set my soul free."
<I>We are stardust,
We are golden,
And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden.</I>
"Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog,
And I feel just like a cog
In something turning.
Well, maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man,
And I don't know who I am,
But life's for learning."
<I>We are stardust,
We are golden,
And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden.</I>
By the time I got to Woodstock
They were half-a-million strong,
Everywhere there were songs and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies above our nation.
<I>We are stardust,
We are golden,
And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden.</I>
