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 going to join in a rock 'n' roll band |
|
I'm going to camp out on the land |
|
I'm going to 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 |
