Well I came upon a child of God, she was walking along the road And I asked her tell where are you going, this she told me She said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, going to join in a rock and roll band Got to camp on to the land, and set my soul free We are stardust, we are golden And we got to get ourselves back to the garden Well, then can I walk beside you? I have come to lose the smog And I feel myself a cog in something turning And maybe it's the time of year, yes, said maybe it's the time of man And I don't know who I am but life is for learning 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 And everywhere was song and celebration And I dreamed I saw the bomber 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
