Billie Godfrey - Woodstock Lyrics




I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him; "Where are you going?"
This he told me

"I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
I'm gonna camp out on the land
And try 'n' get my soul free."

We are stardust, we are golden.
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden....

"Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to loose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning.

Maybe it is just 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 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,
Turning into butterflies above our nation.

We are stardust, Three billion year old carbon
We are golden. Caught in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden....
