Also known as The Wairarapa Song, this song is about indulging in the simple pleasures in life
lyrics
The sky is so blue, the sun is shining there's no denying
It's a beautiful day, it makes me want to get away
Shall we go to the sea? Shall we make our way down to Ngawi?
Let's get out to the coast, coz that's the place I really love the most.
I want to look out across the waves,
Feel the warm breeze brush against my face,
Dig my feet into warm, wet, sand
Here I'm alive, I'm in the promised land, won't you take my hand.
Oh I feel like I'm alive, oh I can't get over
The sky's not falling, I feel like talking
All my troubles melt away,
Oh take my hand forever we will stay, yeah.
Shall we walk in the bush, the birds are singing, I think we're winning
The sound of the trees, I love them rustling in the breeze
And we keep going up, we keep on going and we keep exploring
When we get to the top, that Wairarapa view it opens up.
When I get a glimpse of the view from the top
I take a deep breath, my heart it wants to stop.
A moment in time seeking pleasures divine
I feel so small but I can walk so tall, you know that I walk tall.
Oh I feel like I'm alive, oh I can't get over
The sky's not falling, I feel like talking
All my troubles melt away,
Oh take my hand forever we will stay, yeah.
Instrumental
When I'm with you time moves so slow
It doesn't matter, where we choose to go
A walk in the bush or out to the coast
Being here with you is the place that I love most.
It's the place that I love most.
