[Verse 1]
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 goin' on down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
Gonna get my soul free"
[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 2]
Then, can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something's turning
And maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But I know that life is for learning
[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 3]
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 turnin' into butterflies
Above our nation
[Chorus]
We are stardust
Million-year-old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
