Story behind the song
Written our of love for a daughter..and for Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Lyrics
Not The First Time She's going away at the age of fifteen To a shore far away from her crowd To find different structures, a different scene In the land of the long white cloud Not the first time a young person leaves home Way back once her father to be As youngster was fed up and started to roam In New Zealand he found himself free The new world was scary but people were there Their open hearts opened his fist His new friends in short time made him aware Of togetherness that he had missed Well that was back then and this is right now The reflection comes fast to a dad When it is clear that he must let her go A bit worried for sure but not sad Easy she says, just you take off my weight Some agression there in her voice Hard to let go of a young daughters fate And leave it to be her own choice Will she touch peoples hearts, will they touch hers When she her free will is allowed She'll find a new track, for better or worse In the land of the long white cloud
