Musical interlude ....

    Through Your Hands

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
If it blew up in your face
   E                A
We dream about the future
   E            A
We scheme about 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 that finds you
    E                           A
On that broad highway somewhere
      E                   A
To lift you as high as Music flyin
E               A
Thru the angels hair


A
So don't worry what you are not doing
          G#m
Cause your voice cannot command
    F#m
In time you will move mountains
       B                E   A   E   A
It will come through your hands
