The title and the second verse reference and describe the Biblical story of Daniel in the lions den, chapter 6 of the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament.
Daniel is thrown into a cell full of lions by rivals to be eaten, however Daniel is found alive the next day, and claims that he was found blamel...
Well it took them a hammer
And it took them a nail
And they built you a prison
And they made you a cell
And they gave you no ransom
And they set you no bail
With a view of a heaven
Yeah they gave you that hell
Yeah
I hold the light that lights the pathway
I hold the key that locks the door
Now all the steps they lead to freedom
And I'll swim the sea that leads to shore
Daniel on his knees
He continued to pray
And the king he forbid him
And they led him away
And they lay him with lions
And they told him goodbye
The returned in a moment
Just to find him alive
I hold the light that lights the pathway
And I hold the key that locks the door
Up all the steps they lead to freedom
And I swim the sea that leads to shore
And I hold the light that lights the pathway
And I hold the key that locks the door
Walk up the steps that lead to freedom
And I'll swim the sea that leads, sea that leads, sea that leads to shore
