[King Darius]
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 Darius]
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 through 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 kind of loony in the head. (I do)

[Narrator, spoken]
Well, Daniel was able to explain the king's dream. And this made the king very happy

[King Darius]
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, spoken]
This was very good news for Daniel, but very bad news for the wise men. You see, each one of them wanted to be second in command. Now that Daniel got that job, the wise men would have to do whatever he said. This made the wise men very unhappy, and they immediately started thinking of ways to get rid of Daniel
