(Gibson / Dale)
Lew Stone & His Band
Big mountain Mauna Loa
Great dome of fire
Grant us this our hearts desire
Save us from the wrath within you, Mauna Loa
For life is fair
Trusting in your loving care
Be not angry with your children Mauna Loa
Oh! hear our prayer
For all the daytime we give to playtime
With song and dancing we laugh the golden hours away
And while we're sleeping, a watch you're keeping
On peaceful homesteads that all depend on you
Mountain Mauna Loa
Great dome of fire
Grant us, this our hearts desire
Save us from your despoliation Mauna Loa
Oh! hear our prayer
