Dragons Are Singing Tonight — Jack Prelutsky

Once They All Believed In DragonsOnce they all believed in dragonsWhen the world was fresh and young,We were woven into legends,Tales were told and songs were sung,We were treated with obeisance,We were honored, we were feared, Then one day they stopped believing—On that day, we disappeared.Now they say our time is over,Now they say we've lived our last,Now we're treated with derisionWhere we once ruled unsurpassed.We must make them all remember,In some way we must revealThat our spirit lives forever—We are dragons! We are real!
