Land Of Plenty

A long white cloud ancient land,
Open field sacred ground,
Bays of plenty, the bluff, the cape,
Streaming sands, boiling place,

White water swells, bridges of old,
Deep clear nights, open shores,
Summer nights in Auckland

[Chorus]
And my father used to say
And we came to this land of plenty
And we came to this land of hope
And we came to this land of good times
And we came to this land of love

Mountain range, snow peak tops,
Fresh water stream, fouveax strait,
Open caves that glow supreme,
Black sand shores, lion rock,

monuments, mission bay, cuba street, vulcan lane,
Westerly winds, sun and rains,
Beautiful days in the Wellington

[Chorus]
And my father used to say
And we came to this land of plenty
And we came to this land of hope
And we came to this land of good times
And we came to this land of love

Desert roads, mount ruapehu, the picton ferry decides your fate,
Oval square, civic center, and nelson gorge where we lost a mate,
Oamaru via timaru winding roads, sudden bends,
lake taupo, bethelis beach,
A word to the wise increase the peace

[Chorus]
And my father used to say
And we came to this land of plenty
And we came to this land of hope
And we came to this land of good times
And we came to this land of love
