Lava (song)

"Lava " is a song featured in the short of the same name. The song tells the story of Uku and how he wishes to find a mate

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 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

Uku: "I have a dream I hope it 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  it 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 it 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 it 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."
