This song is a cover of a Joni Mitchell song. She wrote it in response to Graham Nash’s description of the events there. Mitchell’s version is melodic and thoughtful, while the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young version focuses on harmonies and is more up-tempo.
[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Vere 2]
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
[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
