Lava

Over the weekend, we brought the kids to the cinema to watch the Disney Pixar movie "Inside Out".

They enjoyed the movie and as parents, we had several takeaways from the movie, too! 

There's one thing I want to tell you is that at the start of the movie, there was a short film "Lava" - a love story about 2 volcanoes, written and composed by the movie director James Murphy and it was very touching and emotional. Most eyes were moist after that.

Here's the video:



Hope you like it as much as I do ...


"Lava" Lyrics

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 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, and 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, and 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, and 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, and the 
sky we thank too.

I Lava YOU! 
I Lava YOU! 
I LAVA YOU!
