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: 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 walk 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 the 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 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.
