I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him "Tell me where you going?"
And this he told me
Said "I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Gonna camp out on the land
Try and get my soul free"
We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden, 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
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've got to get ourselves back to the garden, 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
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden, back to the garden
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden,
Back to the garden
