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 caves 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

No one knew he loved us

One day our grandpa Pa 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 where the young ones play

There was the old one praying

Daniel took our grandpa Pa away through the waves

They couldn't find him anywhere in the coral reef's arcades

But three days later Daniel came but they killed him angrily

But not before he brought to shore our 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
