VeggieTales - We've Got Some News, King Darius lyrics

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?

'Tis true

Oh, dear

We've brought a solution of our own design
If you'll just sign 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 law 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
Yes, 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
Alright then, good work, men, ta ta

So the law was passed, the deed was done
Daniel's troubles had just begun

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
