He was walkin' along the road and I asked him
And I dreamed I saw the farmers
We are billion year old carbon
Songwriter: Joni Mitchell
We are stardust, we are golden
And everywhere was a song and a celebration
We were half a million strong
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are stardust, we are golden
We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devil's bargain
And maybe it's the time of year
We are billion year old carbon
And I don't know who I am, but life is for learnin'
This he told me, said, "I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
I have come to lose the smog
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turnin'
Well I came upon a child of God
We are stardust, we are golden
Turning into butterflies above our nation

Well then can I walk beside you
Just play his ridin' shotgun in the sky
"Tell me where are you going?"
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
I gotto get back to the land and set my soul free"
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
