Woodstock,<\/span> Joni Mitchel, 1970<\/span><\/p>\n
Well, I <\/span>Em<\/span>came<\/span> upon a child of God<\/span>, <\/span><\/p>\n
He was <\/span>A<\/span>walking<\/span> along the road<\/span>
\n<\/span>And I asked him, “Tell me, where are you going?”<\/span><\/p>\n
And this he <\/span>Em<\/span>told<\/span> me<\/span><\/p>\n
S<\/span>aid, “I’m <\/span>Em<\/span>going<\/span> down to <\/span>Yasgur’s<\/span> Farm<\/span>, <\/span><\/p>\n
Gonna<\/span> A<\/span>join<\/span> in a rock ‘n’ roll band<\/span>
\n<\/span>Got to <\/span>A<\/span>get<\/span> back to the land<\/span>, <\/span>Set my <\/span>Em<\/span>soul<\/span> free<\/span>“<\/span><\/p>\n
We are stardust, we are golden<\/span>, <\/span><\/p>\n
We are billion-year-old carbon<\/span>
\n<\/span>And we’ve got to get ourselves<\/span>, <\/span><\/p>\n
Back to the garden<\/span><\/p>\n
Well, then can I walk beside you?<\/span> I have come to lose the smog<\/span>
\n<\/span>And I feel myself a cog<\/span>, <\/span>In <\/span>somethin<\/span>‘ <\/span>turning<\/span><\/p>\n
And maybe it’s the time of year<\/span>
\n<\/span>Yes, and maybe it’s the time of man<\/span>
\n<\/span>And I don’t know who I am<\/span>, <\/span>But<\/span> life is for learning<\/span>\u200b[<\/span>CHORUS<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n
By the time we got to Woodstock<\/span>, <\/span>We<\/span> were half a million strong<\/span>
\n<\/span>And everywhere was a song<\/span>, <\/span>And a celebration<\/span><\/p>\n
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes<\/span>
\n<\/span>Riding shotgun in the sky<\/span>, <\/span>Turning into butterflies<\/span>
\n<\/span>Above our nation<\/span>\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b[<\/span>CHORUS<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n
