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 guessedBut 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

GalileeJohn

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 came to town one summer afternoon

John Daniel's eyes
