Well I came upon a child of God he was walking along the road
And I asked him tell me where are you going this he told me:
(He) said I'm going down to Yasgur's farm going to 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 got to get ourselves back to the garden
Well then can I roam beside you I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year yes said 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 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are stardust we are golden we are 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 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 got to get ourselves back to the garden
