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