| 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. |
