Evolution
Lyricist:R Lane
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago Into a pool was thrown, many years ago Time went by and the pool ran dry
Excavated was I and tempered And beat in the fiery heat By the hand of a man whose name was Dan Dan the blacksmith
Well, once I was a daisy, many years ago In pastures green and lazy, many years ago But I was on my goat who fell in a moat
And forgetting to float He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead And was relieved to find Well, just how kind it all was
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible I said, 'Pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke'
Then I was born, a human baby, a many years ago I remember I was born unto a lady, a many years ago
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child Who turned out to be wild, sent the Devil a prayer Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave To lie and thieve on my way to jail
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor Known good times and disaster But now I found a teacher And my teacher has a master
And the master is perfection So he'll help us get there faster Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth And I'll drink to that
