Ode to Daniel
Of the hardest years of your life
You stood with your head in the air all tough
Nothing stopped you
Because everything was enough
The men around you were mean
You were scared
Of all the things that were seen
It might have taunted you, but it was soon over
Your mother woke you from a nightmare
You were sweating in her arms
She wouldn�t let any men near
There would be no harm
Daniel, you went around
Saying "This shouldn't be happening"
And something must be said
You wouldn't let this happen
Not ever again
You were the courageous one
You wanted to stop Hitler
You were bright as the sun
Though something had to be done
You saw kids and grown ups enter the camp in a line
What a horrible sight
Of the thought in your mind
So mare
And you said "Please let this be over"
