The peace dragon sleeps in a cave in a cliff on a crystal sea

It wakes when sunlight slips inside with a fine good morning breeze

Then it snaps its tail and cracks its claws and beats its giant wings

And it rides the rivers of the sky and peace to all it brings.



CHORUS:

Oh it snaps its tail and cracks its claws and beats its giant wings

and it rides the rivers of the sky and peace to all it brings.



For breakfast it likes nothing more than missiles that go crunch

A nuclear submarine sandwich really hits the spot for lunch

For dessert perhaps a neutron bomb washed down with a chemical brew

Digesting deadly weapons seems a peaceful thing to do.



CHORUS



The general stamped his foot and swore he'd slay that lizard of peace

He launched a secret rocket while the dragon lay sound asleep

But friendly bats with sonar ears their serpent pal awoke

And one quick snort from a fiery snout sent the rocket right up in smoke.



CHORUS



Children wave and shout hello when it flies overhead

It calls to people, "Please don't fight but think and talk instead

Don't send your young ones off to war, don't poison all the earth

When you're truly big and strong you'll understand what peace is worth."



CHORUS
