Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walkin' along the road
I asked him, "Where are you goin'?"
And this he told me
[Verse 2]
"Well, I'm goin' down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Gonna get back to the land
And set my soul free"
[Verse 3]
We are stardust, golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 4]
Then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel to be cog in somethin' turnin'
Maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning
[Verse 5]
We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 6]
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 bombers
Ridin' shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies above our nation
[Verse 7]
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
Golden
Caught in the Devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 8]
Yes, we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Yes, we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
