Through Your Hands
4
(by John Hiatt)
5
You were dreaming on a park bench about a broad highway somewhere
6
When the music from the carillon seemed to hurl your heart out there
7
Past the scientific darkness, past the fireflies that float
8
To an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest cloak
9
And you ask "What am I not doing?"
10
She says, "Your voice cannot command,
11
In time you will move mountains
12
And it will come through your hands."
13
Still you angle for an option, still you argue for your case
14
Like you wouldn't know a burning bush if it blew up in your face
15
Yeah, we scheme about the future and we dream about the past
16
When just a simple reaching out could build a bridge that lasts
17
And you ask "What am I not doing?"
18
She says, "Your voice cannot command,
19
In time you will move mountains
20
And it will come through your hands."
21
So whatever your hands find to do you must do with all your heart
22
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart
23
There's a healing touch to find you on that broad highway somewhere
24
To lift you as high as music running through an angel's hair
25
Don't ask what you are not doing
26
'Cause your voice cannot command
27
And in time we will move mountains
28
And it will come through your hands
