Lost In The Stars (music by Curt Well, lyrics by Maxwell Anderson)
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'd take special care So it wouldn't get lost again
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim All the clouds roll over to darken him So long as the Lord God's watching over them Keeping track of how it all goes on
But I've been walking through the night and the day Till my eyes get weary and my head turns grey 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 Glowing through the night
