Shimmering song of agelessness
Gleaming dragon gem
The many here sing loud and clear
The ancient chant again

Dawn of time revisited
When all was clean and new
The stars rang bright in morning light
And all my world was you

Nights of stars and days of sun
Shining glorious skies
In every day a promise lay
In every night a prize

Snow upon the mountain tops
The wind was hard and bright
Above the snow I came to know
The always-joy of flight

Talons meet in solemn vow
Forever to be true
So long ago, I could not know
How much I'd care for you 

Sunrise forever in my heart
The world was born anew
A joy more bright than that of flight
My joy at loving you

I only live to see you now
To watch you smile at me
To try in vain to live again
If that can ever be

Without you now, my world is cold
My heart has slipped away
No joy in flight, no prize at night
No promise in my day

Clutched in aged and shaking paws
Now dims the pearls' bright light
Your image fades in hues of gray
My world returns to night
