[Intro]
 
C  C  G7  G7  F  F  C  G7  G7
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 C             C
  A long, long time ago
 G7           G7
  There was a volcano
F        F                C             G7    G7
  Living all alone in the middle of the sea
  C            C
  He sat high above his bay
  G7               G7
  Watching all the couples play
F     F            C              G7    G7
  And wishing that he had someone too
 
 C             C
  And from his lava came
       G7           G7
  This song of hope that he sang out-
  F    F         C             G7    G7
 -loud every day for years and years
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 F         F
  I have a dream
    C              C
  I hope will come true
       G7               G7
  That you're here with me
      C             C
  and I'm here with you
    F             F                 C       C
  I wish that the earth, sea, & the sky up above-a
       F       G7         C   C
  Will send me someone to lava
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
  F  F  G7  G7  C  C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  C                C
  Years of singing all alone
  G7              G7
  turned his lava into stone
    F   F             C              G7  G7
  Until he was on the brink of extinction
 
 C           C
  But little did he know
       G7            G7
  That living in the sea below
   F      F           C                G7  G7
  Another volcano was listening to his song
 
 C              C
  Every day she heard his tune
  G7       G7
  Her lava grew and grew
    F     F                C                  G7  G7
  Because she believed his song was meant for her
 
 C            C
  Now she was so ready
     G7        G7
  To meet him above the sea
        F        F            C            G7   G7
  As he sang his song of hope for the last time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 F         F
  I have a dream
    C              C
  I hope will come true
       G7               G7
  That you're here with me
      C             C
  And I'm here with you
    F             F                 C       C
  I wish that the earth, sea, & the sky up above-a
       F       G7         C   C (single strum)
  Will send me someone to lava
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  C  C
 
  C               C
  Rising from the sea below
  G7             G7
  Stood a lovely volcano
 F        F              C                 G7  G7
  Looking all around but she could not see him
 
     C                C
  He tried to sing to let her know
       G7          G7
  That she was not there alone
      F       F        C            G7  G7
  But with no lava his song was all gone
 
     C              C
  He filled the sea with his tears
      G7                 G7
  And watched his dreams disappear
     F     F                 C             G7  G7
  As she remembered what his song meant to her
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 F         F
  I have a dream
    C              C
  I hope will come true
       G7               G7
  That you're here with me
      C             C
  And I'm here with you
    F             F                 C       C
  I wish that the earth, sea, & the sky up above-a
       F       G7         C   C (single strum)
  Will send me someone to lava
 
 
[Final Verse]
 
  C  C  C  C
 
  C            C
  Oh they were so happy
     G7            G7
  To finally meet above the sea
 F       F               C             G7   G7
  All together now their lava grew and grew
 
     C               C
  No longer are they all alone
        G7      G7
  With aloha as their new home
 F             F          C                 G7  G7
  And when you visit them this is what they sing
 
 
[Final Chorus] (Duet)
 
     F         F
Both: I have a dream
 
        C              C
Both: I hope will come true
 
           G7                   G7
Lele: That you'll grow old with me (Uku:  Ooooh)
 
          C                  C
Uku:  And I'll grow old with you   (Lele: Ooooh)
 
      F            F                 C            C
Both: We thank the earth, sea, & the sky we thank too
 
      F G7   C  C
Both: I lava you
 
      F G7   C  C
Both: I lava you
 
      F (single strum) G7      C
Both: I                lava    you
