Rain 

If I had gone to Manchester I could have found some rain.
In the English Lakeland it would have rained again.

If I had ventured into Wales it might have been quite wet.
But the rain we got in Auckland I never will forget!

Of course it had been sunny for weeks and weeks on end
But when the Fletchers get here it will rain my friend!

At least it is still nice and warm so our clothes will dry
So we can all be cheerful, there is no need to cry.

There was once a rainbow so God's promise will be kept
And when we went to bed last night we really, really slept
