Well I came upon
a child of God
He was walkin' along the road
And I asked him
Tell me where are you goin'
This he told me
Said I'm goin' down
to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a
rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And set my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden
Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
in somethin' turnin'
And maybe it's the
time of the year
Yes and maybe it's the
time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learnin'
We are stardust
We are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden
We are stardust
We are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
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 a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the
bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
above our nation
We are stardust
We are golden
We are caught in the
devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden
