There are stars so distant
The light that left 'em ages ago just came into
view
That twinkling we're seeing now
May
be from a star that burned out ages a-
go
When I was
young like you
Oh and that's the
way
That's the way our
people are
They ain't
gone long as they shine on
In our hearts
And just so we
know
Right where they
are
God lets the light outlive the
star
The stars we see in the sky at night
Are there all day but they're lost in the sunlight
Without darkness, stars cannot shine
As without sorrow, joy would be be-
nign
Oh and that's the
way
That's the way our
people are
They ain't
gone long as they shine on
In our hearts
And just so we
know
They ain't gone a-
way too far
God lets the light outlive the
star
(no singing)
'Cause there are stars so distant
The light that left 'em ages ago just came
into view
That twinkling we're seeing now
May be from a
star that burned out
ages ago
When I was young like
you
Oh and that's the
way
That's the way our
people are
He ain't
gone long as he shines on
And on in our hearts
And just so we
know
Brother right where you
are
God lets the light outlive the
star
That's why God lets the light outlive the
star
