"Woodstock" lyrics - DAVID CROSBY

DAVID CROSBY
"Woodstock"

I 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...
Well I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Gonna get back to the land
And get my soul free

We are stardust
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
Maybe it's the time of year
Or 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've 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 bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion-year-old carbon
Golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Yes we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Yes we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
