Il testo della Stone

Well once i was a stone, a many years ago
Into a pool was thrown, a 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

Well once i was a sword, a many years ago
And my blade was broad, a many years ago
Worn with pride, into battle i'd ride at a warriors side
And i cut and i killed and i was lost in a field
And i soon did rust, i corrode to dust, oh my

Well once i was a daisy, a many years ago
In pastures green and lazy, a many years ago
But i was eat 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
Oh lord, just how kind it all was

Well once i was a grub, a many years ago
And i lived in muck and mud, a 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 i dried my wings and i flew away

Well 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"

Well 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 to 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 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

Well i've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor known good times and disaster
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
Don't need no proof because that's the truth and i'll drink to that
