Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before Lord God made the sea or land
He held all the stars in the palm of His hand
And they ran to his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone
[Verse 2]
Then the Lord God hunted through the wild night air
For the little lost star on the wind down there
And He stated and promised He'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more
[Verse 3]
Now a man don't mind if the sky grows dim
And the clouds roll over and darken him
As long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keepin' track how it all goes on
[Verse 4]
But I've been walkin' through the night and day
Till my eyes grow weary and my hair turns grey
And sometimes I think maybe God's gone away
Forgetting His promise and the word He'd say
[Verse 5]
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars blowin' through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars blowin' through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
