Through Your Hands Lyrics

INTRO: E A B E A B
You were dreamin' on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere
When music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there
Past the scientific darkness, past the fireflies that float
To an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat
And you ask, "What am I not doing?"
She says, "Your voice cannot command."
She says, "In time, you will move mountains,
and it will co-------ome through your hands."
Still you argue for an option, still you angle for your case
Like you wouldn't know a burnin' bush if it blew up in your face
Yeah, we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
When just a simple reachin' out might build a bridge that lasts
CHORUS,
then:
BREAK: G F#maj7 Emin7 A7sus4 A7
Yeeaahhh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So whatever your hands find to do, go on and do it with all your heart
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart
There's a healin' touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere
To lift you high like music flyin through the angel's hair.
Don't ask what you are not doing
Because your voice cannot command
You see, in time, we will move mountains
And it will come through --
--no chord-------- E A B E A B
Right through your hands. //// //// //
Through your hands //// //// //
E A (slow & fade on A, then end on E)
Through your haaannnnddss....
