The MusicI came upon a child of godHe was walking along the roadAnd I asked him, where are you goingAnd this he told meI’m going on down to Yasgur’s farmI’m going to join in a rock n roll bandI’m going to camp out on the landI’m going to try an get my soul free Then can I walk beside youI have come here to lose the smogAnd I feel to be a cog in something turningWell maybe it is just the time of yearOr maybe its the time of manI don’t know who l amBut you know life is for learning By the time we got to WoodstockWe were half a million strongAnd everywhere there was song and celebrationAnd I dreamed I saw the bombersRiding shotgun in the skyAnd they were turning into butterfliesAbove our nation We are stardustBillion year old carbonWe are goldenCaught in the devils bargainAnd we’ve got to get ourselvesBack to the garden - Woodstock, Joni Mitchel
