(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
