Year of the Dragon,  Sign of the Heart

Words & Music by Christopher Kent

Born in the year of the dragon
Under the sign of the heart
Midnight calling the rising moon
Lifetimes only a breath apart
Raised in the land by the river
Under the wind and the sky
Watching the world growing day by day
Longing to fly

The sun and moon and stars play their part
A dream unfolding with love from the start
In the Year of the Dragon, and the sign of the heart

Eyes of a child on a brave new world
Feeling so small and so strange
So many questions and so much wonder inside
Feelings only the heart could explain
Lying awake on a summer night
Hearing the wind in the trees
Dreaming of being that special one
All the world wants to be

The sun and moon and stars play their part
A dream unfolding with love from the start
In the Year of the Dragon, and the sign of the heart

Scared of the dark, lost in a childhood dream
Monsters emerge from the wall
Learning that fear is the monsters’ prey
Learning to rise when you fall

The sun and moon and stars play their part
A dream unfolding with love from the start
In the Year of the Dragon, and the sign of the heart
