The Long And Winding Road, by The Beatles
The wild and windy nightThat the rain washed awayHas left a pool of tearsCrying for the dayWhy leave me standing here?Let me know the way

The wild and windy nightThat the rain washed awayHas left a pool of tearsCrying for the dayWhy leave me standing here?Let me know the way
'Cause he brings people to you door And you turn them away As you smile and say "God bless you, be at peace" And all heaven just weeps 'Cause Jesus came to you door You've left him out on the streets
But I got an emptiness deep inside And I've tried, but it won't let me go And I'm not a man who likes to swear But I never cared for the sound of being alone
I was a fool to wander and a-stray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Don't let me drift too far Keep me where you are Where I will always be renewed
Let our love for Thee increase, May Thy blessings never cease, Give us plenty, give us peace, God defend our free land. From dishonour and from shame, Guard our country's spotless name, Crown her with immortal fame, God defend New Zealand.
When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around
Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō
Walk on, walk on With hope in your hearts And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.
