Before Lord God made the sea or 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 the little dark star in the wind down there   And he stated and promised he'd take special care   So it wouldn't get lost, no more      Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim   And the clouds blow over and darken him   So long as the Lord God's watching over him   Keeping track 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 gray   And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away   Forgetting his promise and the word he'd 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   Little stars, big stars blowing through the night   And we're lost out here in the stars
