Lava
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 everyday for years and years.
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, the sky up above
will 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
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 will come true
That you're here with me and I'm here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
will 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 and watched his dreams disappear
As she remembered what his song meant to her.
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, the sky up above
will 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 visit them this is what they sing.
I have a dream I hope will come true
That you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you
We thank the earth, sea, the sky, we thank too.
I lava you
I lava you
I lava you

This lava short film was shown before the movie "Inside Out", and this song is so romantic!!
My absolute favourite phrase is:
That you're here with me and I'm here with you
The two singers really rock this song, and the last part where they harmonize is just pure heaven.
Guy Volcano: Kuana Torres Kahele,
Gal Volcano: Napua Greig
Ukelele: James Ford Murphy (Also the writer and director of this short film, Lava.

This song felt very close to my heart, the desperation of the Guy Volcano, seeking for someone to love, reminded me of my own heartpains before I met dougongs.

We shifted hugo to his own cot today, since afternoon, and so far he is quite ok... but the mama is yet to be ok, as I quote cheesie "withdrawal symptoms" ...
I cried for about two hours, going over and over in my head that Im gonna miss hugo reaching out for me in the middle of the night, or lying on my arm...
I really didnt expect to feel this way, I didnt expect to feel this sad.. Gosh..
I am truly hopeless...
I love you Hugo, and like I love dougongs,
I LAVA you both....
^_^
