I came upon a child of God |
|
She was walking along the road |
|
And I asked her, "Where are you going?" |
|
This she told me |
|
Said, I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm |
|
Gonna join a rock 'n' roll band |
|
I'm gonna camp out on the land |
|
Gonna try and set 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 |
|
Yeah, maybe it's just 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 we got to Woodstock |
|
We were half a million strong |
|
And everywhere was a 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 |
|
(Billion year old carbon) |
|
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden |
|
We are stardust, we are golden |
|
(Caught in the devil's bargain) |
|
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden |
