The Morning Of The Dragon Lyrics - Miss Saigon

(A street pageant is celebrating the glorious victory 

of North Vietnam and the THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF REYNIFICATION) 

[FIRST GROUP] 

On silent feet it came 

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came 

Closing it on its rightful prey 

Burning a hundred years away 

The Morning of the Dragon 

Truth up the street 

The tiger we were stalking 

Walked on paper feet 

And in the clear white heat 

Of dawn 

Was gone 

[FIRST GROUP] 

From every door they came 

These children born of war, they came 

[SECOND GROUP] 

Victory 

[FIRST GROUP] 

Sharing a secret word which they 

Waited a hudred years to say 

[SECOND GROUP] 

The morning of 

the dragon 

All the walls 

fell down 

[FIRST GROUP] 

The Morning of the Dragon 

Truth lit up the street 

[SECOND GROUP] 

Brother greeted brother 

In a sudden light 

[FIRST GROUP] 

The tiger we were stalking 

Walked on paper feet 

And in the clear white heat of dawn 

It's gone 

[SECOND GROUP] 

And the endless night heat of dawn 

Was gone 

[THIRD GROUP] 

(as groups one and two repeat ON SILENT FEET IT CAME.../ VICTORY...) 

May all our children learn 

The tide of right will turn 

Giants fall, tigers burn 

Someday with the dawn 

They're gone
