Dan's Devotion

Parody Lyrics by Randall Hyde

Belshazzar couldn't read the writing on the wall
Written while he had been throwing a fancy ball
His wise men failed to interpret it
That made him really scared of this small writ

The queen came, said "Don't be alarmed, don't look so pale!
I know a guy, he will succeed though these others fail.
He knows many things, soon you will see
He was a prisoner, but your dad set him free."


He is wise and never outdone and his God he won't deny
He is from Jerusalem and he's always prayin'
Gotta' check out Dan's devotion, to the one and only God
And you'd better listen to what he is sayin'


So Daniel came, told the king that he really messed up
Drinking wine, from a very sacred temple cup
The words said "Mene Mene Tekel Parsin"
They were an indication of the king's sin


He is wise and never outdone and his God he won't deny
He is from Jerusalem and he's always prayin'
Gotta' check out Dan's devotion, to the one and only God
And you'd better listen to what he is sayin'


"Your reign's days they have been numbered and now come to an end
You've been put onto the scales and God finds you wantin'"

"Yes you've had a good life, it's been a swell time,
but your time is now, God will take your life."


He is wise and never outdone and his God he won't deny
He is from Jerusalem and he's always prayin'
Gotta' check out Dan's devotion, to the one and only God
And you'd better listen to what he is sayin'


He is wise and never outdone and his God he won't deny
He is from Jerusalem and he's always prayin'
Gotta' check out Dan's devotion, to the one and only God
And you'd better listen to what he is sayin'


Your kingdom's soon divided and split with other men
This is the price you'll pay for all of your sin
All of your sin
All of your sin (fade)
