Daniel Dolphin

Daniel was a dolphin with wide innocent eyes
 We met him seven years ago in an island paradise
 He used to meet us at the shore, and swim with us and laugh
 And show us games and coral reefs and carry us like a raft
 Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
 he knew more than he said
 Smart as Daniel was
 he used his heart before his head
 No one would believe he was
 as bright as what we said
 One day our grampapa was watching us play
 It hurt him that we ran along and with him did not stay
 and so he followed us along the sunny, sandy shore
 He got so far behind us that he couldn't walk anymore
 Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
 he knew more than he said
 Smart as Daniel was
 he used his heart before his head
 No one would believe he was
 as bright as what we said
 No one knew he loved us.
 There were the young ones playing, there was the old one praying
 Daniel took our grandpapa away through the waves
 they couldn't find him anywhere in the coral reefs or caves
 But three days later Daniel came, but they killed him angrily
 But not before he brought to shore a tiny old brand new baby
 Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
 he knew more than he said
 Smart as Daniel was
 he used his heart before his head
 No one would believe he was
 as bright as what we said
 No one knew he loved us.
 No one knew he loved us.
