Well i came across a child of god
he was walking along the road
and i asked him tell where are you going
this he told me
well i am going down to yasgur's farm
going to join in a rock and roll band
goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we 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 like i'm a cog in something turning
and maybe it's the time of year
yes and maybe it's the time of man
and i don't know who i am
but life is for learning
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we 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 jet planes
riding shotgun in the sky
turning into butterflies
above our nation.
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we got to get ourselves back to the garden
