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:
 //// //// //// //// //// //// //// ////
 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--------
 Right through your hands. //// //// //
Through  your hands  //// //// //
 (slow & fade on ,  then end on )
 Through your haaannnnddss....
