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 Gonna join a rock and roll band I'm going to camp out on the land And try and 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 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 I don't know who I am But life is for learning We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden By the time I got to Woodstock They were half a million strong Everywhere there was song and celebration I dreamed I saw the bombers Riding shotgun in the sky Turning into butterflies above our nation We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
