I'm a farmer,
I don't know how to speak
to twenty people at one time,
let alone a crowd like this.
But I think you people
have proven something to the world
— not only to the Town of Bethel,
or Sullivan County, or New York State;
you've proven something to the world.
This is the largest group of people
ever assembled in one place.
We have had no idea
that there would be
this size group,
and because of that
you've had quite a few
inconveniences as far as
water, food, and so forth.
Your producers
have done a mammoth job
to see that you're taken care of...
they'd enjoy a vote of thanks.
But above that,
the important thing
that you've proven to the world
is that a half a million kids
— and I call you kids
because I have children
that are older than you are —
a half million young people
can get together
and have three days
of fun and music
and have nothing
but fun and music,
and I God Bless You for it!

"Woodstock"
Well I came upon a child of God,
he was walking along the road
And I asked him
tell me, where are you going?,
when this he told me:
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm,
gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land,
set my soul free.
We are stardust, we are golden,
we are a 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 the year,
yes, and 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 a billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves
back to the garden.
(solo)
We are stardust, we are golden,
we are a 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 a song
and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw
the bombers death 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
back to the garden.
