Lyrics and Ukulele Chords to Lava

Ok my beloved followers, every summer, I try to make it a point to learn something new and this past weekend, my sister showed me this short film by Disney Pixar titled "Lava." Which I fell instantly in love with and said this is my husband and my love story LOL...OK I was thinking of video taping myself so you can see how well I learned it, but I'm still debating, so leave me a comment if you want to see that happen? Otherwise here are the chords, lyrics and just so you can fall madly in love with it like I did, I also attached a version of the video for you to watch.  Ok, enough talking, let's get Ukuleling!!!!

Intro: C G7 F C G7 C

Verse:

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 every day,

C                     G7

for years and years.

Chorus:

F                            C

I have a dream, I hope will come true,

            G7                                C

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

Verse:

C                                                   G7

Here is to singing all alone and  turning his lava into stone

F                              C                      G7

until he was on the brink of exiting sun.

C                                           G7

But little did he know that living in the sea below

F                                 C                    G7

another volcano was listening to his song.

Verse:

C                                 G7

Every day she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew

F                        C                  G7

because she believed his song was for her.

C                       G7

Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea

F                      C                 G7

as he sang his song of hope for the last time.

Chorus:

F                          C

I have a dream, I hope will come true,

G7                                          C

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

Verse:

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 alone,

    F                             G7            C

but with no lava his song was so gone.

Verse: 

C                                                     G7

He filled the sea with his tears watching his dreams disappear

F                                              C                 G7

as she remembered what his song meant to her.  

Chorus:

F                            C

I have a dream, I hope will come true,

     G7                                       C

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

Verse:

 C                                           G7

Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea

    F                              G7                       C

All together now their lava grew and grew.

C                                                          G7

No longer were they all alone with Aloha as their new home

    F                                                  C                     G7

and when you go and visit them, this is what they sing

Chorus:

F                          C

I have a dream, I hope will come true,

     G7                                            C

that you'll grow old with me and I’ll grow old with you

F                                               C

We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too

     F       G7         C

     I      Lava     You       repeat 3X

Remnants of the Past

Hello all my wonderful beloved friends in the world! I finally came back on and was reading all my old blogs and can't believe it has been almost a whole year since I've chatted with you!  Shame on me (hits my own hand)  I know I should be talking to you on a daily basis, but what can I say, if you know me in person, you know that I am not very good at keeping in touch heeheehee.

To be honest, it isn't my fault, so many things have happened to me this past year that again, I really don't even know where to begin? Hmmmmmm, where do you guys want me to begin?  Well to start off, I'm still here and alive! Yay! I have been dealing with a lot of health issues, but the funny thing is that after everything, it turns out I just have a vitamin deficiency..go fig...I just needed to go out and get some sun....guess I can't be a hermit anymore (frowny face). So now after seeing a lot of specialist and getting what feels like a million lab test, I am finally on the right track of getting healthy!

As far as the rest of my life, I am on the right track and feel so blessed to be on the path that I currently am on.  For once in my life, the possibilities of my future are endless and I am happy to report that the only stress that I am currently experiencing is in deciding which road to choose? Should I become the Children's Ministry Director at my church?  Should I become the CEO of an up and rising company or should I teach at a Montessori school and work towards opening or running my own school? Decisions, decisions, decisions...what do you guys think?  All I know is that whatever path I am on, it will for sure be working with children...At what capacity.....I guess we will have to wait and see?

I still have moments where I get pretty low still, but lately they are few and between and in my pursuit of happiness I have come to the realization that in life and in order to be happy and I mean TRULY HAPPY, you need all of it.  By IT, I mean the sadness, the fear, the anger, the joy...I know it sounds like I'm naming all the characters of the Inside Out Movie, but I swear it's true! You ever hear the saying...you can't have the sweet without the sour, or you need the ying and the yang? In life, you need to experience the anger, the fear and the sadness in order to know what pure utter joy is!  In my life, I have experienced so much sadness, fear, anger, hurt, pain. But through all of that, I learned how to be happy, brave, courageous and above all else, how to truly and whole heartedly LOVE!

Life is going to throw us so many curve balls, but God doesn't put us in those situations for us to ask Him to change it....God puts us in those situations to change US.  After reading all the blogs I have written over the years, I can honestly say that I have truly seen God work in my life and has changed me in such a way that I didn't even think was possible?

Something out of the blue happened to me today or should I say someone from the past who hurt me happened to me today.  To be honest I was waiting for this day and for all the things that I would say and do to them.  I had some pretty good comebacks and remarks waiting for them too...I was even considering a couple of Judo Chops in the process if I ever saw them in person. But now that all these years have passed us by and I have grown not only spiritually, but also in wisdom, I had nothing but forgiveness, becuase if I didn't meet this person, I would have never of been put on this path that I am on and even though it has been a long ardous one, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I know this is going to be soooo nerdy of me, but I can't help it, I figure this would be a good place to put some awesome qoutes...Until next time beloved:

“The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.”
— The Doctor, Season 5, Episode 12

“When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.” 
— Elton Pope, Season 2, Episode 10.

“Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”
— The Doctor, Season 3, Episode 6

“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”
— The Doctor, Season 5, Episode 13

**yes, they are all Doctor Who qoutes, because Doctor Who always knows exactly what to say! But nothing says it better than GOD:

"For I know the plans I have for your." declares the Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."      Jeremiah 29:11
