CHORUS

Look at the sky we see the moon so clear
It’s time to celebrate the lunar year
Twelve animals each following another
And each one has a lesson to discover

TRANSITION
Goodbye rabbit, thank you for your turn
It’s time for the dragon, what can we learn ?

VERSE

Welcome dragon, flying high
Guide us to find strength inside
Dignity is your domain
Bravery and courage reign

CHORUS

Look at the sky, we see the moon so clear
It’s time to celebrate the lunar year
Twelve animals each following another
And each one has a lesson to discover
