I woke up with this song playing in my head...

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm *
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well 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've 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
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden

I think it means even MORE now.

An iconic event the likes of which have often been imitated but never matched for it's significance.

@Nimbus It was the lyrics and the meaning of many of the verses, rather than the event, which resonated with me. Enough so that they lodged in my subconscious overnight...but yes...a significant event!

The amazing thing is that she wrote the song but didn't perform there

Good song. I like how changed the words and made it hers. 🤗💝💝🤗

@Musicman What I loved were her words, "Child of God,", and "we've got to get back to the Garden."
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@4meAndyou I agree. 😊
