Woodstock -- Joni Mitchell
Well 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 goin' down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
We are caught in the Devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in something turning --
Well maybe it's the time of year,
Or maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am,
But life is for learning.
We are stardust
We are golden
We are caught in the Devil's bargain
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 bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
We are golden
We are caught in the Devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden...
