Woodstock (live) (2022 Remaster) Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

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"

We are stardust
We are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

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

We are stardust
We are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

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

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


We′re gonna take a short intermission
We′ll see you in about 15 minutes
