I took my first trip to New Zealand four years ago and was instantly taken and transformed by it’s beauty. Aotearoa is the Maori word for New Zealand. It means land of the long white cloud.
Take me along where the sun sits high, and the air is heady. It’s never too late to right your wrongs. Take me along • Take me back where we just lose track of the days and nights. It feels just right. Take me back where you and I belong • I never thought I’d miss you so. You took my breath and now I know. I could never undo what’s been done to me. I would never undo what’s been done me • Take me along where the tide is strong and the boundless sky crowns a mountain song. Take me along. Take me along • Take me back to the land of the long white cloud where I’ve seen the trees touch the heavens. Take me back where you and I belong • Take me along to the land of the long white cloud. Take me along, I want to stay with you
