[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the 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
[Bridge]
Now, I don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken
Just as long as the Lord God's watching over and
Keeping track how it all goes on
[Verse 3]
But I've been walking through the night and the day
'Til my eyes grow weary and my head turns gray
And maybe it seems just like I've gone away
Forgetting the promise that we heard Him say
[Outro]
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars glowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars and big stars glowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
