“Lava” is a short film created by Pixar Animation Studios in 2014. This computer-animated musical, directed and written by James Ford Murphy and produced by Andrea Warren, first premiered at the Hiroshima International Animation Festival on June 14, 2014. It was later released in theaters alongside another Pixar film, “Inside Out”, on June 19, 2015.

The story of “Lava” is a romantic tale that spans millions of years. The film is set to a song, also titled “Lava”, which was written by Murphy. The song and film were inspired by the “stunning beauty of tropical islands and the explosive majesty of ocean volcanoes.” Murphy was especially drawn to the Hawaiian islands, where he had honeymooned 25 years prior. In order to further connect with the land that inspired him, Murphy returned to Hawaii before beginning production on the film.

Lava Ukulele Chords by James Ford Murphy

VERSE 1:
CA long long time ago Gthere was a volcanoFLiving all alone in the Cmiddle of the GseaCHe sat high above his bay Gwatching all the couples playFAnd wishing that Che had someone GtooCAnd from his lava came this Gsong of hope that he sangout Floud every day Cfor years and Gyears
CHORUS:
FI have a dream I Chope will come trueThat Gyou’re here with me and CI am here with youFI wish that the earth, sea, and the Csky up above-aWill Fsend me Gsomeone to Clava
VERSE 2:
CYears of singing all alone Gturned his lava into stoneFUntil he was on the Cbrink of extincGtionCBut little did he know that Gliving in the sea belowFAnother volcano was Clistening to his GsongCEveryday she heard his tune her Glava grew and grewFBecause she believed his Csong was meant for GherCNow she was so ready to Gmeet him above the seaFAs he sang his song of hope Cfor the last Gtime
CHORUS 2:
FI have a dream I Chope will come trueThat Gyou’re here with me and CI am here with youFI wish that the earth, sea, and the Csky up above-aWill Fsend me Gsomeone to Clava]
VERSE 3:
CRising from the sea below Gstood a lovely volcanoFLooking all around but Cshe could not see GhimCHe tried to sing to let her know Gthat she was not there aloneBut Fwith no lava, his Csong was all GgoneCHe filled the sea with his tears Gand watched his dreams disappearAs Fshe remembered what his Csong meant to Gher
CHORUS 3:
FI have a dream I Chope will come trueThat Gyou’re here with me and CI am here with youFI wish that the earth, sea, and the Csky up above-aWill Fsend me Gsomeone to Clava
VERSE 4:
COh, they were so happy to finaGlly meet above the seaAll Ftogether now their lava Cgrew and GgrewCNo longer are they all alone with Galoha as their new homeAnd Fwhen you go and visit them Cthis is what they Gsing
CHORUS 4:
FI have a dream I Chope will come trueThat Gyou will grow old with me, and CI will grow old with youWe Fthank the earth, sea, and the Csky we thank tooFI  Glava Cyou
FI  Glava Cyou
FI  Glava Cyou
