Joni Mitchell
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 going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm gonna camp on the land
And try and get my soul free.
Chorus:
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
Well 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.
Chorus
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 turning into butterflies above our nation.
Final Chorus:
We are stardust, billion year old carbon
We are golden, caught in the devils bargain
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
