Subject: Child of God



The recent discussion of the term child of god in religious context

brought to mind a more secular usage in Joni Mitchell's song,

"Woodstock" (1969):



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 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

And try an' get my soul free

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

...
