We've Got Some News
We've got some news, good King Darius
We fear your position is precarious
There are some people here in Babylon who won't give you your due
They'd rather bow to other men
Can this be so?
'Tis true, oh, dear
We've brought a solution of our own design
If you'll just sign this paper on the dotted line
It's an edict stating most concisely what we're all to do
We must bow our heads or bend our knees before no one but you
I see, just one more time, now, let's see if I've got this straight
A law to prove once and for all that I am great
If I'm the king, no one must doubt my full supremacy
So, from this day forth, my citizens will pray to only me
Yes, but what if they don't?
If they don't obey, any citizen will be thrown into the lion's den
Oh yes, well, I guess that would do it
Alright then, good work, men, ta, ta
So the law was passed
The deed was done
Daniel's troubles had just begun
Everyone in Babylon heard about the new law
Including Daniel, but Daniel also knew God's law
And God's law told him that he should only pray to God
We fear your position is precarious
There are some people here in Babylon who won't give you your due
They'd rather bow to other men
Can this be so?
'Tis true, oh, dear
We've brought a solution of our own design
If you'll just sign this paper on the dotted line
It's an edict stating most concisely what we're all to do
We must bow our heads or bend our knees before no one but you
I see, just one more time, now, let's see if I've got this straight
A law to prove once and for all that I am great
If I'm the king, no one must doubt my full supremacy
So, from this day forth, my citizens will pray to only me
Yes, but what if they don't?
If they don't obey, any citizen will be thrown into the lion's den
Oh yes, well, I guess that would do it
Alright then, good work, men, ta, ta
So the law was passed
The deed was done
Daniel's troubles had just begun
Everyone in Babylon heard about the new law
Including Daniel, but Daniel also knew God's law
And God's law told him that he should only pray to God
