Imagine a necklace which keeps you dry, which keeps you safe in any storm, which lets you swim in the deepest ocean: this necklace from your godfather, the North Wind, does just that.

Hold on to the Raindrops
Based on, “A Necklace of Raindrops” by Joan Aiken. 
Adapted from, "Hold Back the River" by James Bay. 
Watch it on Youtube here / Original lyrics here

v - Tried to keep my necklace close to me,
But school took it away.
Meg was mean and stole it for herself,
But my godfather meant it for me.

ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on

v - My tears rolled down like rain
What will happen to me?
But I saved the fish from the sand
And the bird from the storm.

ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on

Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho

ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friends’ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friend’s clues.

v – I found the necklace
A princess has it
But now my godfather’s coming
He has the tenth drop

ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on

ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friends’ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friend’s clues.

v - If I want my necklace back
I must make it rain for them
But he was angry, he dropped the raindrop
A tear rolled to the chain making ten

ch - Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on

ch2 - Missing necklace, missing necklace, I have found you
Let me dry my eyes so I
Can make it start raining by blowing my nose
Let me dry my eyes so I….

Hold on to the raindrops, let me stay dry in a storm
Hold on to the raindrops, so I
Can stop it from raining and swim in any sea
Hold on to the raindrops, hold on.
