Woodstock Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 on down to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free"

[Chorus]
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

[Verse 2]
Can I walk along beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a part
Of something turning round and round
And maybe it's the time of year
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're golden
And we've 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 the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Firing shot into the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation

[Chorus]
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
