We are stardust

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden


Well I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going, this he told me:
(He) said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, going to join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land, and set my soul free.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Well, then can I roam beside you? I have come to lose the smog.
And I feel myself a cog in something turning.
And maybe it's the time of year, yes, said maybe it's the time of man.
And I don't know who I am but life is for learning.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
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 was song and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are caught in the devil's bargain,
And we got to get ourselves to some semblance of a garden.

--Joni Mitchell, 1969

  1. No matter who serenades about stardust....Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublѐ, Harry Connick, Jr. or Willie Nelson...stardust is magical, ranking high with it’s close sister moonshine!

    My favorite? Michael Bublѐ
