OMC - Land Of Plenty 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
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 piston ferry decides your fate
Oval square, civic center
And Nelson Gorge where we lost a mate

Oamaru via Timaru
Winding roads, sudden bends
Lake taupe, 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
We came to this land of good times
And we came to this land of love
Oh, we came to this land of love"

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

  24. o.... ....

    Still one of my favorites after all these years.

  25. B.... B....

    Lol this sounds like Massive Attack's first album until the chorus where things get irrecoverably gay

    B.... B....

    yeah good one legend,

  26. A.... B....

    Not so keen on this song - prefer "On the Run"

  27. T.... ....

    OMC's best song IMHO....just love it!

  28. G.... D....

    Is this the same beat Massive Attack used?

  29. J.... ....

    Waow, the same baseline as Massive Attacks' Blue Lines

  30. H.... S....

    When I listen to Pauly Fuemana's music I am filled with this feeling of goodness and truth. He was very talented -- wholesome. His life I believe from what I have read was a reflection of someone who struggled and found himself in all sorts of situations that he came to understand on a higher spiritual level. He simply advanced in his thinking and continued on his life outside of his body earlier than those he left behind would have liked. We like and admire him because we overcame his obstacles, which is what we want to do too.

    H.... S....

    Hélène Staley wow deep yes

    H.... S....

    Hélène Staley try

  43. B.... J....

    You know this should be our national anthem here in Aotaroa/New Zealand. It's a beautiful piece of work :-) <3

    B.... J....

    I agree Totally!

  44. C.... L....

    tumeke song. kia ora OMC

  45. T.... B....

    It is not at all similar to Audi A3 Cabriolet

  46. R.... M....

    This song still makes my Saturday.

  47. f.... y....

    Iv been to NZ twice, considering I have dual citizenship. It's a beautiful Country where weed grows everywhere naturally and cannibalism is a wide known and accepted part of their vibrant history.

  48. 2.... ....

    Cheap Audi...rip off city. It's very similar...

    2.... ....

    Only this song was out first and this man is dead...

  49. j.... k....

    primo sounds...

  50. E.... ....

    It is a real shame that this song is not more well-known, because it is very, very nice.

    E.... ....

    very nice doesn't make it good... it's meh 

    E.... ....

    +Gary Dikarev I found it to be a perfect feel-good song.

    E.... ....

    @Wandelgart King OK, good for you, what's your point? 

    It's still meh

    E.... ....

    His point is that your opinion, Gary, is subjective just as is his and mine, and everyone else's.

    E.... ....

    Your name is quite fitting Gary. You indeed are a Dik!

  51. N.... G....

    lovely song

  52. N.... G....

    you mean the audi commercial? greg Johnson will forever be the copycat songwriter to me now, he was obviously asked to write something similar for money...

  53. J.... D....

    awesome talent.

  54. v.... ....

    Damn I must have been under a rock for years I didn't know Pauly died. I really liked how bizarre didn't really think much else about OMC as they stopped playin it here just figured there would be more. Of course that was years and years ago but that song has still stuck in my head to this day. Reminds me of a better time in my life when things were simple and the biggest decision I had was what were me and my friends going to do that weekend. It wasn't bad enough he lost everything he died too

  55. h.... ....

    RIP beautiful man. .

  56. n.... ....

    Oh great... Now he's gonna cry.

  57. S.... A....

    Awesome talent!!! RIP Pauly!

  58. a.... ....

    wow, these guyshad more songs than how bizarre

  59. j.... ....

    Great artist. RIP Pauly.

  60. d.... ....

    They were a great band. This is one of those CD's that I'd play in my car, have my friends go "who's this?", then How Bizaar hits and they're like, "wtf, this is awesome".

    Never judge a band, artist, or ablum by a single!

  61. s.... l....

    Wow! Why were this band only famous for that one song??? This is beautiful

  62. C.... C....

    very sad this song, reminiscing makes me sad like listening to herbs great song tho.

  63. u.... ....

    The Bank of New Zealand used this song in one of its advertising campaigns. RIP Pauly!

  64. R.... C....

    @The090968 wow i Couldn't agree with you more for a one hit wonder band, i listened to it and fell in love with every single song on the album, it's too bad there wasn't more. I have enjoyed this entire album for years! Nanci

  65. c.... ....

    were FIVE, now we are SIX 36/41

  67. O.... S....

    @ZezimaIsANoob109 I'd move back if I could, I hate the place I'm living in now, but I'm forced to for financial reasons.

  68. B.... C....

    I just bought a CD BY OMC and I liked every song on it. Awesome talent that will be missed !!!

  69. S.... ....

    @The090968 it breaks my heart listening to this music and knowing he's gone :(

  70. Q.... M....

    @ZezimaIsANoob109 I would move to this country in a heartbeat if I could. pretty staunch entry critria though, in order to retire there you need at least .75 million banked, I am sitting on .35 mil Cnd and it breaks my heart that it is not enough.

  71. c.... ....

  72. S.... H....

    Love it! OMC is one of my favorite bands. RIP Paul.
