long long ago in a faraway land
there lived a young man named daniel
when daniel was a boy
he was taken from his home in judah to
live in a city called babylon
where he went to school in the palace of
the babylonian king
daniel missed his home very much
and every day he prayed that god would
take care of his family and his friends
and look after him too
god heard his prayers
and helped daniel become wise as he grew
older
till everyone in the palace knew of his
wisdom
then one night
while babylon was sleeping
the king
had a dream
[Music]
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
yes that is true
[Music]
but there
is his name
so before you take another sleeping
[Music]
my name is daniel
that much is true
but it is god who gives me wisdom answer
me he will explain your dreams to you
his name is daniel
that's what he said
when he talks about this
[Music]
well daniel was able to explain the
king's dream and this made the king very
have happy me
your job i will expand
from now on i want you to sit right
beside me
[Music]
[Applause]
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 the 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
[Music]
oh no what we gonna do the king likes
daniel more than me and you
oh no what we gonna do we gotta get him
out of here
oh no what we gonna do the king likes
daniel more
[Music]
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
oh we could give him jelly doughnuts
take him all away or we could fill his
ears with cheese ba*ls and his nostrils
with surfing he could use them as a flip
store a table to place grabble on then
tie him up and beat him up and throw him
out of babylon
i like it it's sneaky and it just might
work
we could use them as a footstool or a
table tip my scrabble on then tie them
up and beat them up and throw them out
of babylon
[Music]
the very next morning the wise men
appeared before king darius to try to
trap daniel with their scheme
you wanted to see me
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 it's true
oh dear
we've brought a solution of our own
design
if you're just signed 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 lot 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
is
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
all right then good work man
tata the law was passed the deed was
done
daniel's troubles had just be
gone
[Music]
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
so the next day
just like every other day
daniel prayed and thanked god for the
sunshine and for all his friends
he also thanked god for giving him the
courage to do what was right
even when he knew it could get him in
trouble
did you say trouble
so you guys are wise men
that's pretty cool have you like have
you always been wise would you you have
to go to school for that
are you serious about that thing hey i
can see my house from here
daniel because you violated section
42192r94006.1-7
b of the code of babylon forbidding
prayer to anyone but king darius
you're hereby sentenced to be consumed
by the lions goodbye don't i get a phone
call
[Music]
hey danielle you're sure gonna have fun
down there we're not lying
[Laughter]
yeah you better be lying down um because
those lions are gonna um

to lie on them well well maybe they're
going to lie on them then eat them or

oh no
what am i gonna do
it looks like i'm gonna end up as lions
too
don't cry
[Music]
fear not
[Music]
there is one who is watching you
he listens when you pray
and though it seems this time you won't
get through
god
even though he still didn't know what to
expect
daniel felt better when he remembered
that god was taking care of him
even in the lion's den elsewhere in the
kingdom the wise men were busy
congratulating themselves for being so
clever
while a king
believing that he had lost a good friend
decided the only thing he could do was
to pray that daniel's god would protect
him
the next morning everyone ran down to
the lion's den to see what was left of
daniel
it's hopeless
no one could survive a night with those
lions hello
did you hear something
hello
daniel is that you
oh yeah i'll be right up i just have to
say goodbye to my new friend

it's impossible yes it is well hello

garden now i understand
for even at the bottom of the lion's den
you were in his hand
i've got it a new law
from this day forth everyone will pray
only to daniel's god no more of this
silly praying to me business
