What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You were dreaming on a park bench
2
'Bout a broad highway somewhere
3
When the music from the carillon
4
Seemed to hurl your heart out there
5
Past the scientific darkness
6
Past the fireflies that float
7
To an angel bending down
8
To wrap you in her warmest coat
9
CHORUS:
10
And you ask, "What am I not doing?"
11
She says "Your voice cannot command.
12
In time, you will move mountains,
13
And it will come through your hands."
14
Still you argue for an option
15
Still you angle for your case
16
Like you wouldn't know a burning bush
17
If it blew up in your face
18
Yeah, we scheme about the future
19
And we dream about the past
20
When just a simple reaching out
21
Might build a bridge that lasts
22
CHORUS
23
So whatever your hands find to do
24
You must do with all your heart
25
There are thoughts enough
26
To blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart
27
There's a healing touch to find you
28
On that broad highway somewhere
29
To lift you high
30
As music flying
31
Through the angel's hair.
32
Don't ask what you are not doing
33
Because your voice cannot command
34
In time we will move mountains
35
And it will come through your hands
