Someone to Lava
Intro: [C] [G7] [F] [C] [G7]
C G7
A long long time ago, there was a volcano.
F C G7
... Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
C G7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
F C G7
... and wishing that, he had someone too.
C G7 F
And from his lava came, this song of hope that he sang out-loud everyday,
C G7
for years and years.
|Chorus:
|F C
|I have a dream, I hope will come true,
| G7 C C7
|that you're here with me and I’m here with you
|F C
|I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
| F G7 C
|will send me someone to la-va
C G7
He was singing all alone, turned his lava into stone,
F C G7
... until he was on the brink of extinction.
C G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F C G7
... another volcano was listening to his song.
C G7
Every day she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew
F C G7
... because she believed his song was meant for her.
C G7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
F C G7
... as he sang his song for the last time.
Chorus:
C G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
F C G7
... looking all around but she could not see him.
C G7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
F C G7
... but with no la-va his song was all done.
C G7
He filled the sea with his tears watching his dreams disappear
(F)... as she remembered what his (C)song meant to (G7*)her.
Chorus: (single strums)
C G7
And they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F C G7
... and all together now their lava grew and grew.
C G7
No longer were they alone with Belfast as their new home
F C G7
... and when you visit them, this is what they sing
F C
I have a dream, I hope will come true,
G7 C C7
that you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you
F C
We thank the earth, sea, the sky we thank too
F G7 C C7
I lava you
F G7 C C7
I lava you
(F)I la(G7)va (C*)you
