A long long time ago 00:19

There was a volcano 00:22

Living all alone in the middle of the sea. 00:25

He sat high above his bay 00:32

Watching all the couples play 00:35

And wishing that he had someone too. 00:39

And from his lava came 00:46

This song of hope that he sang out loud 00:48

Every day 00:53

For years and years. 00:54

00:57

I have a dream. 01:00

I hope it will come true. 01:02

You are here with me. 01:05

And I am here with you. 01:08

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above 01:11

01:13

Would send me someone to lava. 01:17

01:22

Years of singing all alone 01:35

Turned his lava into stone 01:38

Until he was on the brink of extinction. 01:41

01:47

But little did he know 01:50

That living in the sea below 01:53

That another volcano 01:56

Was listening to his song. 01:59

02:02

Everyday she heard his tune 02:04

Her lava grew and grew 02:06

Because she believed his song was meant for her. 02:09

Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea. 02:18

As he sang his song of hope for the last time. 02:23

02:30

I have a dream. 02:32

I hope it will come true. 02:35

You are here with me. 02:38

And I am here with you. 02:42

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above 02:46

Would send me someone to lava. 02:52

02:58

Rising from the sea below 03:10

Stood a lovely volcano 03:12

Looking all around 03:16

But she could not see him. 03:19

He tried to sing to let her know 03:24

That she was not there alone 03:27

But with no lava, his song was all gone. 03:30

03:37

He filled the sea with his tears 03:40

Watched his dreams disappear 03:43

As she remembered what his song meant to her. 03:47

I have a dream. 03:56

I hope it will come true. 03:59

You are here with me. 04:02

And I am here with you. 04:05

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above 04:08

Would send me someone to lava. 04:14

04:21

Oh they were so happy 04:30

To finally meet above the sea. 04:33

All together now their lava grew and grew. 04:36

No longer are they all alone 04:43

With Aloha as their new home. 04:46

And when you go and visit them this is what they sing: 04:49

I have a dream I hope it will come true. 04:56

That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you. 05:02

We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too. 05:08

I lava YOU! 05:13

I lava YOU! 05:20

I LAVA YOU! 05:26

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

A long long time ago

There was a volcano

Living all alone in the middle of the sea.

He sat high above his bay

Watching all the couples play

And wishing that he had someone too.

And from his lava came

This song of hope that he sang out loud

Every day

For years and years.

...

I have a dream.

I hope it will come true.

You are here with me.

And I am here with you.

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above

...

Would send me someone to lava.

...

Years of singing all alone

Turned his lava into stone

Until he was on the brink of extinction.

...

But little did he know

That living in the sea below

That another volcano

Was listening to his song.

...

Everyday she heard his tune

Her lava grew and grew

Because she believed his song was meant for her.

Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea.

As he sang his song of hope for the last time.

...

I have a dream.

I hope it will come true.

You are here with me.

And I am here with you.

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above

Would send me someone to lava.

...

Rising from the sea below

Stood a lovely volcano

Looking all around

But she could not see him.

He tried to sing to let her know

That she was not there alone

But with no lava, his song was all gone.

...

He filled the sea with his tears

Watched his dreams disappear

As she remembered what his song meant to her.

I have a dream.

I hope it will come true.

You are here with me.

And I am here with you.

I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above

Would send me someone to lava.

...

Oh they were so happy

To finally meet above the sea.

All together now their lava grew and grew.

No longer are they all alone

With Aloha as their new home.

And when you go and visit them this is what they sing:

I have a dream I hope it will come true.

That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you.

We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too.

I lava YOU!

I LAVA YOU!
