Woodstock
(Music and Lyrics by Joni Mitchell)

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

I asked him where are you going

And this he told me

I'm goin down to Yasgur's farm 

Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band

I'm gonna to camp out on the land

Im gonna set 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

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
