WOODSTOCK (1970) MATTHEWS SOUTHERN COMFORT

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

I asked him, where are you going?

And this he told me

----

I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm

I'm going to join in a rock and roll band

I'm going to camp out on the land

I'm going to try to get my soul free

----

We are stardust, we are golden

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

----

And can I walk beside you?

I have come here to lose the smog

And I feel to be a cog in something turning

----

Or maybe it's just the time of year

Or maybe it's the time of man

And 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 we got to Woodstock,

We were half a million strong and

Everywhere there was song and celebration

----

And I dreamed I saw the bombers

Riding shotgun in the sky

And they were turning into butterflies

Above our nation

----

We are stardust, we are golden

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

----

We are stardust, a billion year old carbon

We are golden caught in the devil's bargain

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
