The king told Daniel not to pray
To his God anymore
Or I'll lock you in the lion's den
And throw away the keys to door
The very next day found Daniel down
On his bended knees
The difference this time
He opened the blinds
So the whole wide world could see
I don't care what you say
I'm gonna pray anyway
Gonna lift my hands unto the Lord
For the things He's done for me
I just got to get away
Find a place to seek His face
I don't care what you say
I've got a right to pray
They tell our children not to pray
When they walk thru the schoolhouse door
According to the Constitution
You can't do that anymore
I wonder what old Daniel would say
If he were alive today
If the judge declare no more prayer
I believe old Daniel would say
I don't care what you say
I'm gonna pray anyway
Gonna lift my hands unto the Lord
For the things He's done for me
I just got to get away
Find a place to seek His face
I don't care what you say
I've got a right to pray
I don't care what you say
I'm gonna pray anyway
Gonna lift my hands unto the Lord
For the things He's done for me
I just got to get away
Find a place to seek His face
I don't care what you say
I've got a right to pray
(I don't care what you say)
I've got a right
(Oh, I've got a right to)
I've got a right to pray
I've got a right
(I've got a right to)
I've got a right to pray
I've got a right
I've got a right to pray
I've got a right
Oh, I've got a right to pray, yeah
I've got a right to pray
