Lyrics[]
Narrator:
A long, long time ago, there was a volcano
Living all alone in the middle of the sea
He sat high above his bed 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
Uku:
"I have a dream, I hope will come true
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava"
Narrator:
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
Another volcano was listening to his song
Every day 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
Uku:
"I have a dream I hope will come true
That you're here with me and I'm here with you,
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava"
Narrator:
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
And watched his dreams disappear
As she remembered what his song meant to her
Lele:
"I have a dream, I hope will come true
That you're here with me and I'm here with you
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava"
Narrator:
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 visit them this is what they sing
Uku and Lele:
"I have a dream, I hope will come true"
Lele:
"That you'll grow old with me"
Uku:
"And I'll grow old with you"
Both:
"We thank the earth, sea and the sky we thank too
I lava you
I lava you
I lava you!"
