Daniel

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, many years ago
There lived a man called Daniel
Three times a day
He would kneel down to pray
And meditate, yes he would
His faith was strong, he did nobody wrong
But kept the peace
There was a conspiracy, because of vain jealousy
To put him away, ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes you're in a situation
When the whole world is putting you down
Just rest assured there's consolation
Don't be afraid to hold your ground

[Chorus]
Just like Daniel in the lion's den
(You've got to hold on)
Hold on to the very end
(Like Daniel, Daniel) like Daniel in the lion's den
(Keeping the faith)
Just keep the faith, and don't give in
Oh, oh... (like Daniel, Daniel)

[Verse 2]
They threw him in a den of lions
And closed the door, yes they did
But an angel sent from Heaven
Shut the lions' mouths, they could not even roar

[Pre-Chorus]
If God is for you, tell me who can be against you?
Don't compromise, just keep believing
No help, no harm or danger
Can befall you

[Chorus]
Just like Daniel in the lion's den
(You've got to hold on)
Hold on to the very end
(Like Daniel, Daniel) like Daniel in the lion's den
(Keeping the faith)
Just keep the faith, and don't give in
Oh no, no... (like Daniel, Daniel)

[Chorus/outro]
Oh, like Daniel in the lion's den
(You've got to hold on)
You might have to go through the fire
(Like Daniel, Daniel) Oh, oh, like Daniel
You can come out a winner
(Keeping the faith)
Keep the faith, and don't give in
(Like Daniel, Daniel)
You might ne cast out, but not destroyed
(You've got to hold on)
Got to hold on, got to hold on
Hold on... (like Daniel, Daniel)
Oh, like Daniel, like Daniel
(Keeping the faith)
You've got to keep the faith
(Like Daniel, Daniel)
There might be trouble on every side
(You've got to hold on)
Oh... but if you hold on, if you hold on
Just a little while longer
(Like Daniel, Daniel)
Like Daniel...
(Keeping the faith)
Oh, he kept the faith, yes he did
(Like Daniel, Daniel) You can be like Daniel!
