Abbey Lincoln

Lost in the Stars
Before Lord God made the sea or the landHe held all the stars in the palm of his handAnd they ran through his fingers like grains of sandAnd one little star fell aloneThen the Lord God hunted through the wide night airFor the little dark star in the wind down thereAnd he stated and promised he'd take special careSo it wouldn't get lost no moreNow, a man don't mind if the stars get dimAnd the clouds blow over and darken himSo long as the Lord God's watching over himKeeping track how it all goes onBut I've been walking through the night and the dayTill my eyes get weary and my head turns grayAnd sometimes it seems maybe God's gone awayForgetting his promise and the word he'd sayAnd we're lost out here in the starsLittle stars big stars blowing through the nightAnd we're lost out here in the starsLittle stars big stars blowing through the nightAnd we're lost out here in the stars
