Stone

(ronnie lane)



Well once i was a stone and many years ago

Into a pool i was thrown, a many years ago.

Time passed by, the pool ran dry, escaped was i.

And tempered the beat came a fiery heat,

By the aim of a man, who's name was dann, dann the blacksmith.



Well once i was a sword, a many years ago.

And my blade was broad, a many years ago.

Worn my pride, in a battle i'd ride at a warrior side.

And i cut and i killed and was lost in the field,

And soon did rust, and corrode to dust, oh my.



Well and once i was a daisy, a many years ago.

In pastures green and lazy, a many years ago.

But i was hit by goat who fell in the moat, and forgetting to float

He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead,

But was relieved to find, oh lord, just how kind it all was.



Well and once i was a grub, a many years ago.

And i lived in blood red mud, a many years ago.

But on the very first noon i became a cocoon that resembled a prune.

When the good work was done in the warmth of the sun.

I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and i flew away.



Well and once i was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival.

And once i was a carp and lived in waters on the mantle.

And once i was a man of earth, quoting verses from the bible,

Said i played them all, i played them all, st. luke.



Well and once i was a mule, a many years ago.

But my master he 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 with an almighty crack,

And to his dismay, i passed away, into the blue.



Then i was born a human baby, a many years ago.

Well i remember i was born unto a lady, a many years ago.

All our hopes they were found on the back of a child that turned out to be wild.

Sent the devil a prayer and caused the pope to swear.

So i took my leave, to lie and plead, on my way to jail.



Well i've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.

I've known good times and disaster.

Oh but now i've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master,

And the master is perfection, so he helps us get there faster.

Oh it don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and i'll drink to that.
