C G
A long, long time ago, there was a volcano
F C G7
living all alone in the middle of the sea
C G
He sat high above his bay watching all the couples play
F C G7
and wishing that he had someone, too
C G
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang
F C G7
out loud every day for years and years
F C
I have a dream I hope will come true
G7 C
that you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a
G7 C
will send me someone to lava
C G
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone
F C G7
until he was on the brink of extinction
C G
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F C G7
another volcano was listening to his song
C G
Every day she heard his tune her lava grew and grew
F C G7
because she believed his song was meant for her
C G
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
F C G7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time
F C
I have a dream I hope will come true
G7 C
that you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a
G7 C
will send me someone to lava
C G
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
F C G7
looking all around but she could not see him
C G
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone
F C G7
but with no lava his song was all gone
C G
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
F C G7
As she remembered what his song meant to her
F C
I have a dream I hope will come true
G7 C
that you're here with me, and I'm here with you
F C
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a
G7 C
will send me someone to lava
C G
Oh, they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F C G7
all together now, theirlava grew and grew
C G
No longer are they all alone with aloha as their new home
F C G7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing:
F C
I have a dream I hope will come true
G7 C C7
that you'll grow old with me, and I'll grow old with you
F C
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank, too
G7 C
I lava you,
G7 C
I lava you,
G7 C
I lava you.
