Lost in the Stars

Kurt Weill, Maxwell Anderson

[ENSEMBLE]
Lord of the heart
Look down upon our earthly pilgrimage
Look down upon us
Where we walk
From bright dawn to old age
Give light not shed by any sun
Lord of the heart!
Not read on any page
Lord of the heart!

[STEPHEN]
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 the 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
Blowing through the night

[ENSEMBLE]
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

[ENSEMBLE]
Here in the stars
