Big Country - Woodstock lyrics

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

When I asked him, where are you going

This he told me

I'm going down to Yasgur's farm

Gonna join a rock and roll band

Gonna get back on the land, try 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

You're just like a cog in something turning

Or maybe it's the time of year

Or maybe it's the time of man

Don't know who I am, but life's for learning

We are stardust, we are golden

And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time I got to Woodstock

They were half a million strong

Everywhere there was songs and celebration

I dreamed I saw the bombers, riding shotgun in the sky

Turning into butterflies above our nation

We are stardust, we are golden

And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

(Repeat)
