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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
