lyrics

she came upon a child of god
he was walking along the road
she asked him where are you going
this he told me

i'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
i'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
i'm going to camp out on the land and
get my soul free

we are stardust
we are golden and
we've got to get ourselves
blue
songs are like tatoos

she said then can I walk beside you
i've come here to lose the smog
i feel to be a cog in something turning
round and round

maybe it is just the time of year
maybe it's the time of man
i don't know who i am
but life is for learning

we are stardust
we are golden and
we got to get ourselves past
acid, booze and ass
needles, guns and grass

by the time they got to woodstock
they were half a million strong and
everywhere there was song and celebration
she dreamed she saw the bombers
riding shotgun in the sky
they were turning into butterflies
above our nation

we are stardust
we are golden and
we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden

back to the garden
