Spiritual title: Didn't my lord deliver Daniel?
Listen to the Song
Lyrics: Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel? Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, then why not a every man?

He delivered Daniel From the lion's den, and Jonah from the belly of the whale, and the Hebrew children From the fiery furnace, then why not every man?

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, then why not a every man?

I set my foot On the gospel ship, and the ship it begin to sail, And it landed me over On Canaan's shore, And I'll never come back anymore.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, Then why not a every man?

What does it mean? This song has many biblical references and slaves sang it with the hope of being led out of slavery by God like the story of the Hebrews and Moses.
Who would most likely sing this and why? Slaves sang this song to hope of one day, becoming equal to whites.

“I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.”
― Sylvia Plath

What Plath means by this is that, slaves need their freedom and rights back along with their humanity. Without such vital essentials, slaves are just nothing more than working skin bags that are wasting away for the wealthy white man.

“Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

What Nietzsche means is two people fall into two groups, the free men and the slaves. Slaves were the ones who would work on the plantation. The free men would be considered free because they did not have to work on plantations.
