Lyrics

KING
I am King Darius.
I’ve had a dream,
and now I’m feeling rather frightened
and I wish someone would tell me what it means.

WISEMAN #1
We are your wisemen.
Yes, that is true.
And though we’re using all our wisdom
we’re afraid we can’t explain your dream to you.

KING
What?!?

WISEMAN #3
But there is one who is wiser still,
and Daniel is his name.
So before you take another sleeping pill,
perhaps he can explain.

DANIEL
My name is Daniel.
That much is true.
But it is god  who gives me wisdom
and though me He will explain your dreams to you.

MAID
His name is Daniel.
That’s what he said.
But when he talks about this “god” of his
I think he’s kinda loony in the head. I do.

NARRATOR
Well, Daniel was able to explain the King’s dream, and this made the King very happy.

KING
Daniel, you have enlightened me!
Your job, I will expand.
From now on, I want you to sit right beside me
as the second in command!

NARRATOR
This was very good news for Daniel, but very bad news for the wisemen. You see, each of them wanted to be second in command. Now that Daniel got the job, the wisemen would have to do whatever he said. This made the wisemen very unhappy. And they immediately started thinking of ways to get rid of Daniel.
