DAN THE MAN
The tears are flowing now for Dan the man
He saved the lives of countless pupils
Standing tall as a barrier while they ran
Dan the man was a man of many scruples
Dan the man, a quiet hero long before the tempest
In charge of education at the school
When the shots rang out at breakfast
Dan the man was no man's fool
Little Ahmir went down but Dan the man stood upright
Protecting others the best he knew
Standing in the way of harm and fright
Dan the man, unmovable as the bullets flew
A gentle giant - "that's just dad," said Claire
Dan the man protected all that he could
Confronting danger with bullets in the air
Dan the man gave another day of childhood
Flags fly low now for Dan the man
He's left us after a ten-day fight
Gone to live in his savior's land
Hearts are heavy now for Dan the man
