Daniel (Hebrew: דָּנִיֵּאל, Modern Daniyyel Tiberian Dāniyyêl ; Arabic: دانيال, meaning in Hebrew "God is my Judge") is the protagonist in the Book of Daniel of the Hebrew Bible. In the narrative, when Daniel was a young man, he was taken into Babylonian captivity where he was educated in Chaldean thought. However, he never converted to Neo-Babylonian ways. By Divine Wisdom from his God, Yahweh, he interpreted dreams and visions of kings, thus becoming a prominent figure in the court of Babylon. Eventually, he had apocalyptic visions of his own that have been interpreted as the Four monarchies. Some of the most famous tales of Daniel are: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, The writing on the wall and Daniel in the lions' den.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim (BC 606), Daniel and his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were among the young Jewish nobility carried off to Babylon. The four were chosen for their intellect and beauty to be trained as advisors to the Babylonian court,(Daniel 1) Daniel was given the name Belteshazzar, i.e., prince of Bel, or Bel protect the king!(not to be confused with the neo-Babylonian king, Belshazzar). Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were given the Babylonian names, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, respectively.

I love her converse rip piece
And the way she looks at me
No one does it better I swear
She wears her hair down makeup
She don't even need that stuff
Taking picture everywhere
And I would fight
I would run
I would fly
Into the sun
Cause I never met a girl like you before
You don't think you're perfect
But you're everything I want and more
And I'll try to make you mine
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I never met a girl like you before
I never met a girl like you
Met a girl like you before
I never met a girl
Met a girl like you before
She wears her headphones rolling stones
They write all her favorite songs
Dancing around like she doesn't care
She got a tattoo who knew
That she's got a boyfriend too
But he don't even know that I'm there
And I would fight
I would run
I would fly
Into the sun
Cause I never met a girl like you before
You don't think you're perfect
But you're everything I want and more
And I'll try to make you mine
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I never met a girl like you before
I never met a girl like you
Met a girl like you before
I never met a girl
Met a girl like you before
But if I told you're the one
Would you take my hand and run into the night
Baby lets run
Baby lets run
Cause I never met a girl like you before
You don't think you're perfect
But you're everything I want and more
And I'll try to make you mine
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I never met a girl like you before
Cause I never met a girl like you before
You don't think you're perfect
But you're everything I want and more
And I'll try to make you mine
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I never met a girl like you before
I never met a girl like you
Met a girl like you before
I never met a girl
Met a girl like you before
I never met a girl like you
Met a girl like you before
I never met a girl
Met a girl like you before
