Lyrics:

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, Mt. 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.
