Daniel Saw the Stone Lyrics


Oh Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountainDaniel saw the stone that came rolling through BabylonDaniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountainComing down to redeem a mighty world[repeat above 4 lines]Well, meet me, Jesus, meet meMeet me in the middle of the air'Cause now if these wings should fail meLord, I want to hitch on another pairOh Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountainJesus was the stone that came rolling through BabylonJesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountainComing down to redeem a mighty world[repeat above 4 lines]Oh, well the tree it was bendingUp in the heavenly landWell, my God spoke unto the Holy GhostHe said, "Come on and let's make man"I'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountainI'm looking for the stone that came rolling through BabylonI'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountainComing down to redeem a mighty world[repeat above 4 lines]Well, now, early in the morning the trumpet's gonna soundThe dead and Christ is gonna riseWell, if you ain't got good religionLord, then hell you'll open your eyesI found that stone that was hewed out the mountainI found the stone that came rolling through BabylonI found the stone that was hewed out the mountainComing down to redeem a mighty world[repeat above 4 lines]Well, I saw a weary travelerHe was walking on down the roadWell, I saw him later that eveningHe was walking on down that road"walk, walk, walk..."

Phish is an American rock band most noted for its extended improvisations, elongated song compositions and the varied genres represented in their song repertoire. The band was formed in 1983 in Burlington, Vermont, United States where they all attended college. The band's lineup consists of Trey Anastasio (guitar, vocals), Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals) and Jon Fishman (drums, vocals, vacuum cleaner). The band went on hiatus in 2000, but returned in 2002 only to split for what seemed for good in 2004. However, on September 30, 2008, the band announced, via their website, that they would reunite for three shows on March 6th, 7th and 8th, 2009 at the Hampton Colosseum. Later the band announced a summer tour for June of 2009 beginning with a night at Fenway Park and later added more dates in late July and August, featuring 4 nights at Red Rocks to begin the tour. The band has continued to be active since with continued touring and a new album.

Although the group received little radio play or MTV exposure, Phish developed a large following by word of mouth. Phish's music has elements of many genres including jazz, bluegrass, country, heavy metal, reggae, folk, rock, ska, pop, blues, progressive rock, show tunes, classical, acoustic, barber shop quartet and calypso.

While often compared to the Grateful Dead, Phish finds their roots in jazz and alternative rock as opposed to the Dead who were more influenced by folk, country and blues.

Each Phish concert is different in terms of the songs included and the order in which they appeared, and (for many songs) in the way in which they were performed. Also unique to Phish are their large summer festivals which draw upwards of 70K people to remote areas in Maine and New York State as well as close to 100K for their epic Millennium Show in the Everglades of South Florida.

Along with Bob Dylan and The Beatles, Phish were one of the first bands to have an Internet newsgroup - rec.music.phish - launched in 1991.

In regards to Phish, Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed "Given their sense of community, their ambition and their challenging, generous performances, Phish have become the most important band of the Nineties."
