JONI MITCHELL - Woodstock lyrics

rate me

I came upon a child of god<br>He was walking along the road<br>And I asked him, where are you going<br>And this he told me<br>I'm going on down to yasgur's farm<br>I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band<br>I'm going to camp out on the land<br>I'm going to try an' get my soul free<br>We are stardust<br>We are golden<br>And we've got to get ourselves<br>Back to the garden<br><br>Then can I walk beside you<br>I have come here to lose the smog<br>And I feel to be a cog in something turning<br>Well maybe it is just the time of year<br>Or maybe it's the time of man<br>I don't know who l am<br>But you know life is for learning<br>We are stardust<br>We are golden<br>And we've got to get ourselves<br>Back to the garden<br><br>By the time we got to woodstock<br>We were half a million strong<br>And everywhere there was song and celebration<br>And I dreamed I saw the bombers<br>Riding shotgun in the sky<br>And they were turning into butterflies<br>Above our nation<br>We are stardust<br>Billion year old carbon<br>We are golden<br>Caught in the devil's bargain<br>And we've got to get ourselves<br>Back to the garden
