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.
