Lost in the Stars
Lost in the Stars: A Cosmic Tale of Faith and Longing
Lyrics
Before Lord God made the sea and the land
Reflects on the creation of the sea and land by God.
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
Describes God holding all the stars in His hand.
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
Illustrates the stars slipping away like grains of sand.
And one little star fell alone
Highlights a single star falling alone.
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
God searches for the fallen star in the night sky.
For the little dark star on the wind down there
Specifically, God looks for the little dark star in the wind.
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
God declares to take special care of the star.
So it wouldn't get lost again
Expresses God's commitment to prevent the star from being lost again.
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
Suggests that humans don't mind challenges as long as God is vigilant.
And the clouds blow over and darken him
Even if difficulties arise, as long as God is overseeing, it's acceptable.
So long as the Lord God's watching over them
Emphasizes the importance of God watching over everything.
Keeping track of how it all goes on
God keeps track of events and occurrences.
But I've been walking all the night and the day
The narrator describes walking through the night and day.
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
Expresses weariness and aging due to the long journey.
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Suggests a feeling that God may be absent or distant.
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Conveys a sense of being lost among the stars without God's guidance.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night
Refers to various stars, big and small, drifting through the night sky.
And we're lost out here in the stars
Reiterates the theme of feeling lost among the stars without God's presence.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night
Emphasizes the vastness and uncertainty of the night sky.
And we're lost out here in the stars
Repeats the sentiment of being lost among the stars without God's guidance.
