Woodstock
Journey to Freedom: Woodstock's Spirited Message Unveiled
Lyrics
I came upon a child of God
I encountered an individual associated with peace and love.
He was walking along the road
The person was journeying on a path.
And I asked him tell me where are you going
I inquired about the destination of the person.
This he told me said
He responded, mentioning a visit to Yasgur's farm.
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Expressing the intention to join a rock 'n' roll band.
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Desiring to reconnect with nature and liberate the soul.
Got to get back to the land
Aiming to return to a simpler life on the land.
And get my soul free
Emphasizing the need to free the spirit.
We are stardust
An assertion that humanity is composed of stardust.
We're golden
Highlighting the precious and pure nature of humanity.
And we got to get ourselves
An imperative call to return to a harmonious existence.
Back to the garden
Suggesting a return to a state of innocence and simplicity.
Can I walk along beside you
Seeking permission to accompany the person on their journey.
I have come here to lose the smog
Expressing a desire to escape urban pollution.
And I feel like I'm a part of something
Feeling a connection to a greater purpose or community.
Turning round and round
A sense of cyclical movement or change.
And maybe it's the time of year
Speculating on the influence of the season on events.
Maybe it's the time of man
Considering the impact of the era on individuals.
And I don't know who I am
An existential uncertainty about one's identity.
But life is for learning
An acknowledgment that life is a continuous learning experience.
We are stardust
Reiteration of the concept that humans are made of stardust.
We're golden
Emphasizing the inherent value and purity of humanity.
And we've got to get ourselves
Reaffirming the need to return to a harmonious state of being.
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
Reflecting on the massive gathering at Woodstock.
We were half a million strong
Highlighting the strength of the assembled crowd.
And everywhere was the song
Noting the pervasive presence of music and celebration.
And the celebration
Imagining a dream involving warplanes and transformation.
And I dreamed I saw
Recalling a vision of warplanes transforming into butterflies.
The bomber jet planes fly
A symbolic representation of peace and transformation.
Fire a shot into the sky
Depicting a moment of conflict and its metamorphosis.
Turning into butterflies
A surreal image of transformation and beauty emerging from chaos.
Above our nation
The transformative power of beauty above a troubled nation.
We are stardust
Reiterating the concept of human connection to stardust.
We're golden
Emphasizing the inherent value and purity of humanity.
And we've got to get ourselves
Reaffirming the need to return to a harmonious state of being.
Back to the garden
