From Pixar's short film "Lava". Updated March 10th 2021 with improved lyrics.
Verse:
D A7
a long long time ago, there was a volcano.
G D A7
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
D A7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
G D A7
and wishing that, he had someone too.
D A7 G
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,
D A7
for years and years.
Chorus:
G D
I have a dream I hope will come true,
A7 D
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
G D
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
G A7 D
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
D A7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone,
G D A7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
D A7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
G D A7
another volcano was listening to his song.
D A7
Every day she heard his tune. Her lava grew and grew
G D A7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
D A7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
G D A7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time.
Chorus:
G D
I have a dream I hope will come true,
A7 D
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
G D
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
G A7 D
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
D A7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
G D A7
looking all around but she could not see him.
D A7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
G D A7
but with no lava his song was all done.
D A7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
G D A7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.
Chorus -Female-:
G D
I have a dream I hope will come true,
A7 D
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
G D
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above
G A7 D
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
D A7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea,
G D A7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
D A7
No longer are they alone with Aloha as their new home,
G D A7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…
Chorus -Female + Male-:
G D
I have a dream I hope will come true.
A7
Male: That you'll grow old with me,
D
Female: and I'll grow old with you.
G D
We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too.
Outro:
G A7 D
I lava YOU!
G A7 D
I lava YOU!
G A7 D
I lava YOU!
