Generate meaning
1
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
2
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
3
Time went by and the pool ran dry
4
Excavated was I and tempered
5
And beat in the fiery heat
6
By the hand of a man whose name was Dan
7
Dan the blacksmith
8
Well, once I was a daisy, many years ago
9
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
10
But I was on my goat who fell in a moat
11
And forgetting to float
12
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
13
And was relieved to find
14
Well, just how kind it all was
15
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
16
And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
17
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible
18
I said, "Pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke"
19
Then I was born, a human baby, a many years ago
20
I remember I was born unto a lady, a many years ago
21
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
22
Who turned out to be wild, sent the Devil a prayer
23
Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave
24
To lie and thieve on my way to jail
25
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
26
Known good times and disaster
27
But now I found a teacher
28
And my teacher has a master
29
And the master is perfection
30
So he'll help us get there faster
31
Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth
32
And I'll drink to that
let my love open the door lyrics
