Joni Mitchell
Woodstock (Live) [2022 Remaster]
[Verse 1]
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, I said, "Where you going?"
And this he told me
He said, "I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try and get my soul free"

[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

[Verse 2]
Well, then can I walk beside you? I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel as if I am a cog
In something turning 'round and 'round and 'round
Maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning

[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
[Verse 3]
By the time that we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong
And everywhere you looked there was song and a celebration
Everybody was singin' and dancin' and sharin' and havin' fun
And I dreamed that I saw the bombers up there riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies above our nation

[Chorus]
We are stardust made from billion year old carbon
We are golden, caught up in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We gotta get ourselves back to some semblance of a garden

[Outro]
We're gonna take a short intermission, we'll see you in about fifteen minutes
