King Darius Suite

King Darius: I am King Darius I've had a dream And now I'm feeling rather frightened And I wish someone would tell me what it means. Wiseman #1: We are your wisemen Yes, that is true And though we're using all our wisdom We're afraid we can't explain your dream to you. King Darius: What!? Wiseman #2: But there is one who is wiser still And Daniel is his name So before you take another sleeping pill Perhaps he can explain. Daniel: My name is Daniel That much is true But it is God who gives me wisdom And through me He will explain your dreams to you. Maid: His name is Daniel That's what he said But when he talks about this God of his I think he's kind of loony in the head. (I do.) Narrator: Well, Daniel was able to explain the king's dream. And this made the king very happy. King Darius: Daniel, you have enlightened me Your job I will expand From now on I want you to sit right beside me As the second in command!
