The Lions Den Songtext
von Guardian

Once upon a time in churches of old
The velcro age had yet to unfold
Flannel was king and Sunday School knew
How to make those Bible heroes stick like glue
Oh, how to make ′em stick with you

Flannel graph lions, mounted and mean
The prophet Daniel in between
Head toward heaven, sturdy and true
A man of God who did not fear the gods of men
No, he didn't fear the lions′ den

Every age at every stage, lions rage
Pray, stand your ground, they'll lie down

Dumbstruck, I was shaken and stirred
He wouldn't kowtow, he kept God′s Word
Teacher said, "Son, this could be you
Put your trust in God and not the praise of men
Oh, you won′t fear the lions' den"


Every age at every stage, lions rage
Pray, stand your ground, they′ll lie down

And if we play by lions' rules, we start lionizing fools
God wrote the book, He′ll fortify
Like the eagles, we will fly
We're gonna fly

(Gonna fly, gonna fly)

Late one night in a fever dream
The Prophet Daniel appeared to me
"Sir," I said, "I′ve lost my nerve
I lip serve God and put my faith in Godless men
Oh, I fear the lions' den"
Then he said, "Who says I'm not a feline-phobe?
Who says I wasn′t ready to wet my robe?
Faith is tough, boy, but God gives grace
And take a deep breath, head up, set your face like flint
Oh, stop bein′ a wimp"

Every age at every stage, lions rage
Pray, stand your ground, they'll back down
Lions lie down
