Lyrics and music by Katt McConnell

lyrics

As children we all heard the stories
Of creatures that died long ago,
Of dinosaurs of land, sea, and air,
And their likenesses we've come to know.
But my favorite stories are stranger—
They have valor, and fire, and gold.
But those tales are just make-believe,
They aren't real—or so we're told.

But I've heard the singing of dragons,
Calling to me from the deep.
Soothing my worry-filled slumbers,
Flying with me in my sleep.
I know my brothers are out there,
I know my sisters still soar,
For I've heard the singing of dragons,
And know they will sing evermore.

Dragons were once feared and worshipped—
Dragons were loved and adored.
They lived in the forests, they swam in the seas,
And wherever we hadn't explored.
Now we think of them only as fiction,
But I for one can't help but feel
That for all of the stories we have from yore,
That those dragons of legend are real.

(chorus)

Yet never today do we see them
Except in our artwork and dreams.
And scholars still ponder the meaning behind
Their appearance in literary themes.
Few folk believe they existed,
Or if they did, were much more mundane,
Yet I can't shake the feeling they're out there somewhere,
For reasons I cannot explain,

Except to say

(chorus)

And if you're like me you'll agree that
We feel their presence each day,
And celebrate their mythology
In many of thousands of ways.
And some people feel they're amongst us—
This indeed is a truth that I see,
For I've felt them near in the dark of the night,
And the spirit of Fire glows in me!

(chorus)
