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

He said I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.
I'm gonna get back to the land and set my soul free.

We are stardust, we are golden,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

So can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog,
And I feel to be a cog in something turning

Maybe it is just the time of year,
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 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 a song and celebration.

And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

We are stardust, billion year old carbon,
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
