Lyrics

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 gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
 I'm gonna camp out on the land
 I'm gonna 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
