Woodstock Lyrics - James Taylor

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 

{refrain} 

We are stardust 

We are golden 

We are billion-year-old carbon 

And we 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 something 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 

{refrain twice} 

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
