<br>

BEFORE LORD GOD MADE THE SEA AND THE LAND, <br>

HE HELD ALL THE STARS IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND, <br>

AND THEY RAN THROUGH HIS FINGERS LIKE GRAINS OF SAND, <br>

AND ONE LITTLE STAR FELL ALONE, <br>

<br>

THEN THE LORD GOD HUNTED THROUGH THE WIDE NIGHT AIR, <br>

FOR THE LITTLE DARK STAR ON THE WIND DOWN THERE, <br>

AND HE STATED AND PROMISED HE’D TAKE SPECIAL CARE <br>

SO IT WOULDN’T GET LOST AGAIN, <br>

<br>

NOW A MAN DON’T MIND IF THE STARS GROW DIM, <br>

AND THE CLOUDS BLOW OVER AND DARKEN HIM, <br>

SO LONG AS THE LORD GOD’S WATCHING OVER THEM, <br>

KEEPING TRACK HOW IT ALL GOES ON, <br>

<br>

BUT I’VE BEEN WALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE DAY, <br>

TILL MY EYES GET WEARY AND MY HEAD TURNS GRAY, <br>

AND SOMETIMES IT SEEMS MAYBE GOD’S GONE AWAY, <br>

FORGETTING THE PROMISE THAT WE HEARD HIM SAY, <br>

<br>

AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS, <br>

LITTLE STARS, BIG STARS, BLOWING THROUGH THE NIGHT, <br>

AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS, <br>

LITTLE STARS, BIG STARS, BLOWING THROUGH THE NIGHT, <br>

<br>

AND WE’RE LOST OUT HERE IN THE STARS. <br>
