Miss Saigon movie - The Morning Of The Dragon lyrics

rate me

<br>

(A street pageant is celebrating the glorious victory <br>

of North Vietnam and the THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF REYNIFICATION)<br>

<br>

[FIRST GROUP]<br>

On silent feet it came<br>

Breathing a sheet of flame, it came<br>

Closing it on its rightful prey<br>

Burning a hundred years away<br>

The Morning of the Dragon<br>

Truth up the street<br>

The tiger we were stalking<br>

Walked on paper feet<br>

And in the clear white heat<br>

Of dawn<br>

Was gone<br>

<br>

[FIRST GROUP]<br>

From every door they came<br>

These children born of war, they came<br>

<br>

[SECOND GROUP]<br>

Victory<br>

<br>

[FIRST GROUP]<br>

Sharing a secret word which they<br>

Waited a hudred years to say <br>

<br>

[SECOND GROUP]<br>

The morning of <br>

the dragon<br>

All the walls<br>

fell down<br>

<br>

[FIRST GROUP]<br>

The Morning of the Dragon<br>

Truth lit up the street <br>

<br>

[SECOND GROUP]<br>

Brother greeted brother<br>

In a sudden light<br>

<br>

[FIRST GROUP]<br>

The tiger we were stalking<br>

Walked on paper feet<br>

And in the clear white heat of dawn <br>

It's gone<br>

<br>

[SECOND GROUP]<br>

And the endless night heat of dawn<br>

Was gone<br>

<br>

[THIRD GROUP]<br>

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

<br>

May all our children learn<br>

The tide of right will turn<br>

Giants fall, tigers burn<br>

Someday with the dawn<br>

They're gone<br>

<br>
