Woodstock Lyrics By Crosby Stills Nash Young

    well i came upon a child of god
    he was walking along the road
    and i asked him tell me where are you going
    this he told me

    said i’m going down to yasgur’s farm
    gonna join in a rock and roll band
    got to get back to the land
    and set my soul free

    we are stardust we are golden
    we are billionyearold carbon
    and we’ve got to get ourselves
    back to the garden

    well then can i walk beside you
    i have come to lose the smog
    and i feel myself a cog
    in somethin’ turning

    and maybe it’s the time of year
    yes and 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 billionyearold carbon
    and we got to get ourselves
    back to the garden

    we are stardust we are golden
    we are billionyearold carbon
    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 was a song
    and a 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 got to get ourselves
    back to the garden
