Woodstock Lyrics

Alice Kristiansen Woodstock

[Verse 1]
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
So 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 and roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try and set 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 turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning

[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

[Bridge]
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
Turning into butterflies
Across our nation

[Chorus]
We are stardust (Billion year old carbon)
We are golden (Caught in the devil's bargain)
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
