| 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 and roll band
|
| I’m gonna camp out on the land
|
| I’m gonna get my soul free
|
| 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 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
|
| We are stardust
|
| We are golden
|
| And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
