[Intro]
C G7
F C G7


[Verse]
C                     G7
A long long time ago, there was a volcano.
F                        C             G7
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
C                          G7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
F                 C              G7
and wishing that, he had someone too.
C                       G7                                
And from his lava came, this song of hope that he sang
F                    C             G7
out-loud every day, for years and years.


[Chorus]
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, the sky up above
     F       G7          C
will send me someone to lava.

(Slowly)
F G7 C

[Verse]
C                           G7
Years of singing all alone, turned his lava into stone,
F                   C                G7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
C                           G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F                   C                G7
another volcano was listening to his song.


[Verse]
C                                 G7
Every day she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew
F                        C                  G7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
C                       G7
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.

(Slowly)

[Chorus]
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, the sky up above
     F       G7          C
will send me someone to lava.

(Pause)

(Slowly)
[Verse]
C                         G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano 
F                          C              G7
looking all around but she could not see him.
C                                     G7
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                                G7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear 
F                          C             G7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.


[Chorus]
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, the sky up above
     F       G7         C
will send me someone to lava.

(Faster)
[Verse]
C                            G7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F                       C            G7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
C                              G7
No longer are they alone with Aloha as their new home
    F                    C                 G7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…


[Chorus]
F                 C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
     G7                       C
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
F  G7   C
I lava you
F  G7   C
I lava you
F  G7   C
I lava you
