Todd Duncan — Lost in the Stars

[ALEX, spoken] Who do you write to, Uncle Stephen? [STEPHEN, spoken] To the mother at home. How can I say this to the mother, o Tixo, that I cannot bring him home? That he will perhaps never, never come home? [ALEX, spoken] But Uncle Stephen, you are umfundisi and you can ask God to help you, and he will surely help you.  [STEPHEN, spoken] I don't know, Alex (sung) 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 white 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 Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim And the clouds blow over and darken him So long as the Lord God 's watching over them Keeping track how it all goes on But I've been walking through the night and the day 'Til my eyes get weary and my head turns gray And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away Forgetting His promise that we heard Him 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 [STEPHEN & Chorus] Blowing through the night [Chorus] And we're lost, and we're lost And we're lost, and we're lost [STEPHEN] And we're lost out here in the stars [STEPHEN & Chorus] Here in the stars
