From Pixar's short film "Lava". Updated March 10th 2021 with improved lyrics.
Verse:
E B7
a long long time ago, there was a volcano.
A E B7
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
E B7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
A E B7
and wishing that, he had someone too.
E B7 A
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,
E B7
for years and years.
Chorus:
A E
I have a dream I hope will come true,
B7 E
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
A E
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
A B7 E
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
E B7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone,
A E B7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
E B7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
A E B7
another volcano was listening to his song.
E B7
Every day she heard his tune. Her lava grew and grew
A E B7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
E B7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
A E B7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time.
Chorus:
A E
I have a dream I hope will come true,
B7 E
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
A E
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
A B7 E
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
E B7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
A E B7
looking all around but she could not see him.
E B7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
A E B7
but with no lava his song was all done.
E B7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
A E B7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.
Chorus -Female-:
A E
I have a dream I hope will come true,
B7 E
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
A E
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above
A B7 E
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
E B7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea,
A E B7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
E B7
No longer are they alone with Aloha as their new home,
A E B7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…
Chorus -Female + Male-:
A E
I have a dream I hope will come true.
B7
Male: That you'll grow old with me,
E
Female: and I'll grow old with you.
A E
We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too.
Outro:
A B7 E
I lava YOU!
A B7 E
I lava YOU!
A B7 E
I lava YOU!
