Land of Plenty

A long white cloud, ancient land

Open field, sacred ground

Bays of plenty, the bluff, the cape

Steaming sands, boiling place

White water swells, bridges of old

Deep clear nights, open shores

Winter season brings out the best

Summer nights in Auckland

And my father used to say

"Oh, we came to this land of plenty

And we came to this land of hope

We came to this land of good times

And we came to this land of love

Oh, 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

And my father used to say

"Oh, we came to this land of plenty

And we came to this land of hope

We came to this land of good times

And we came to this land of love

Oh, we came to this land of love"

Desert roads, Mt. Ruapehu

The Picton ferry decides your fate

Oval Square, civic centers

And Nelson Gorge where we lost a mate

Oamaru via Timaru

Winding roads, sudden bends

Lake Taupo, Bethel's beach

A word to the wise, increase the peace

And my father used to say

"Oh, we came to this land of plenty

And we came to this land of hope (Of hope)

We came to this land of good times (Talkin' 'bout good times)

And we came to this land of love

Oh, we came to this land of love"

(Yeah, yeah, talkin' 'bout good time)

And we came to this land of plenty

And we came to this land of hope

We came to this land of good times

And we came to this land of love (Love)

Oh, we came to this land of love (Love)
