E A B
you were dreamin’ on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere

E A B
when music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there

E A B
past the scientific darkness , past the fireflies that float

E A B
to an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat

chorus

G#m7
and you ask , “what Am i not doing?”

F#maj7
she says , “your voice cannot command . ”

B7sus
she says , “in time , you will move mountains ,

B7 E
and it will co – – – – – – – ome through your hands . ”

E A B
still you argue for an option , still you angle for your case

E A B
like you wouldn’t know a burnin’ bush if it blew up in your face

E A B
yeah , we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
E A B
when just a simple reachin’ out might build a bridge that lasts

chorus ,

E A B
so whatever your hands find to do , go on and do it with all your heart

E A B
there are thoughts enough to blow men’s minds and tear great worlds apart

E A B
there’s a healin’ touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere

E A B
to lift you high like music flyin through the angel’s hair .

G#m7
don’t ask what you are not doing

F#maj7
