Before Lord God made the sea and the land He held all the stars in the palm of His hand And they ran through His fingers like grains of sand And one little star fell alone
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air For that little dark star on the wind down there And He stated and promised He takes special care So it wouldn't get lost again
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim Or the clouds blow over and darken him So long as the Lord God's watching over them Keeping track, how it all goes on
Now I've been walking through the night and day Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away Forgetting the promise that we heard Him say
And we're lost out here in the stars Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night And we're lost out here in the stars
