John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work
clothes so everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin' camp nearby
And
he was, but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes
John Daniel was a young
man, not more than twenty-four
And there was an air about him that one could not ignore
And in spite of callused hands & dirty clothes, his face was kind
And I wanted so to know what
was in John Daniel's mind
John Daniel, tell me where did you come from; tell me where is
it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you
hold the answer to a higher plan?
I rented him a room; he went upstairs like all the
rest
It was Saturday and he'd be goin' in to town, I guessed
But he left in a robe and
sandals, with a Bible in his hand;
And I thought to myself, John Daniel, I don't understand
Now I'd planned to meet some friends of mine when I got off at three,
In the park
we often gather to talk of love and peace
When I got there I found that a crowd had gathered
'round;
And there I saw John Daniel a sittin' on the ground
John Daniel, tell me
where did you come from; tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you
different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't
quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
So, "You
want to be free," he said, "Well, this is how you can."
As he read from the Bible he held in
his hand
We were searchin' for the truth not knowin' where to look,
Not knowin' that the
answers all were in John Daniel's book
John Daniel told us all how we could be free
John Daniel taught us all a better way for you and me
He came to us in our own way so
we'd be sure to see
He had the light and essence of the man from Galilee
John
Daniel, tell me where did you come from; tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me
why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's something about you
that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
John Daniel, John Daniel, John Daniel
John Daniel do you hold the answer to a higher
plan?
John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work clothes so
everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin' camp nearby
And he was,
but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes
Ooh, John Daniel, tell me where did
you come from
Tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel, tell me why are you different
from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's something about you that I don't quite
understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan? | | | |
