(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..
