The Light Outlives The Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
That's the way
That's the way our people are
He ain't gone long as he shines on
In our hearts
And just so we know
Right where you 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
For without darkness, stars cannot shine
As without sorrow, joy will be benign
That's the way
That's the way our people are
He ain't gone long as he shines on
In our hearts
And just so we know
Right where you are
God lets the light outlive the star
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
