(Ronnie Lane)
Once I was a stone many years ago
Into a pool was thrown many years ago.
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was
I.
And tempered and beat in a fiery heat,
By the hand of a man, who`s name was Dan
Dan the blacksmith.
Once I was a sword, many years ago.
And my blade was broad, many years ago.
Worn with pride, into battle I`d ride at a
warrior`s side.
And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field,
And I soon did rust, corrode to dust,
Oh my.
Once I was a daisy, many years ago.
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago.
But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and
forgetting to float
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead,
But was relieved to find just how kind it all
was.
Once I was a grub, many years ago.
I lived in muck and mud, many years ago.
But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that
resembled a prune.
When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the
sun.
I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and I flew
away.
Once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for
survival.
And once I was a carp and lived in waters
ornamental.
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from
the Bible,
Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, St.
Luke".
Once I was a mule, a many years ago.
But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago.
By and by I was sick, couldn`t move to his kick,
so he took out a stick
And hit it right `cross my back to an almighty
crack,
And to his dismay, I passed away, into the blue.
I was born a human baby, many years ago.
I was born unto a lady, many years ago.
All our hopes they were piled on the back of a
child that turned out to be wild.
Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to
swear.
So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to
jail.
I`ve been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.
I`ve known good times and disaster.
But now I`ve found a teacher, and the teacher has
a master,
The master is perfection, so he`ll help us get
there faster.
I don`t need no proof, because that`s the truth,
and I`ll drink to that.
