Through Your Hands
View chords used in this chart
E A
You were dreaming on a park bench
E A
About a broad highway somewhere
E A
Where the music from the carillon
E A
Seemed to hurl your heart out there
E A
Past the scientific darkness
E A
Past the fireflies that float
E A
To an angel bending down
E A
To wrap you in her warmest cloak and you ask
What am I not doing
G#m
She says your voice cannot command
F#m
She says in time you will move mountains
B E A E A
And it will come through your hands
E A
Still your angle for an option
E A
Still you argue for your case
E A
Like you wouldn't know a burning bush
E A
Till it blew up in your face
E A
We dream about the future
E A
We memorize the past
E A
When just a simple reaching out
E A
Could build a bridge that lasts
And you ask what am I not doing
G#m
She says your voice cannot command
F#m
She says in time you will move mountains
B E A E A
And it will come through your hands
SOLO
E A
So whatever your hands find to do
E A
You must do with all your heart
E A
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds
E A
And tear great worlds apart
E A
There's a healing touch to find you
E A
Out on the broad highway somewhere
E A
Gonna lift you as high as music
E A
Running thru an angels hair
A
And don't worry what you are not doing
G#m
Cause your voice cannot command
F#m
She says in time you will move mountains
B E A E A
And it will come through your hands
