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, ā€œA Necklace of Raindropsā€ 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 friendsā€™ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friendā€™s clues.

v ā€“ I found the necklace
A princess has it
But now my godfatherā€™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 friendsā€™ clues
Missing necklace, missing necklace, will I find you?
Let us follow our friendā€™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 Iā€¦.

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.
