I have seen the Yellow River
Tumbling, roaring to the sea
I have seen the Borealis
Fantastic lights swirling on me.
I have seen scenes of destruction
Bringing grown men to their knees
Yet also I've seen resurrection
Love performing miraculous deeds

Dragon, dragon, take me away
Twirling, twisting in the sky
Phoenix, phoenix, come then with me
Wings of our souls let us fly

Sunlight, salt, and ocean roar
Make the sand beneath my feet
An eagle’s cry, a dragonfly’s wink
Are the blue of sky that my eyes meet.
Spread your arms and taste the power
At the edge of land and water
Close your eyes and see the currents
Swirling on then and hereafter

Dragon, dragon, take me away
Twirling, twisting in the sky
Phoenix, phoenix, come then with me
Wings of our souls let us fly

Solid stone and soil and rock
With woven wreaths of misty breath
Refuge of solitude wild
A place to escape even death
Look up, look at the leafy temple
Muffled footsteps fall on soil
Comfortable dimness wrapping
Shadowed limbs in a loving coil

Dragon, dragon, take me away
Twirling, twisting in the sky
Phoenix, phoenix, come then with me
Wings of our souls let us fly

Through the valleys moist and rich
Where small farmers toil and sweat
Through the narrow strips of plain
Spread with patched paddies wet.
Leaving freedom far behind
Giving up Nature for Man
Steel and concrete prisons pale
Stilling instinct, stilling hands

Dragon, dragon, take me away
Singing, soaring, flying high
Phoenix, phoenix, come then with me
Harmonizing our goodbye
Out of cities dark and crowded
To the rhythms of the past
A place where rainbows come to roost
A place where I am home at last.
