The Maker of the Stars
THE MAKER OF THE STARS
Giant candles in the night sky
Flicker for me as they pass by
YOUR majesty is what comes shining through
When I’m stuck in stormy weather
The stars help me feel better
Knowing where I am-helps lead me to YOU
BUT…there’s no deeper meaning
To star-lights last gleaming
‘cause their light can only show us THE WAY.
Chorus
You won’t find the answers in the stars,
They can only show you where you are,
Pray for understanding, even if HE feels so far
Pray to the maker of the stars
That ever-present empty feeling
Is an evidence revealing,
You need a connection with your maker too!
Hard to know how to feel better,
With missing pages in the letter,
Can’t decipher forever without YOU
Chorus-2
Look to the maker of the stars,
To understand just who we are
Pray for understanding, even if HE feels so far
Pray to the maker of the stars
Bridge
It might seem that there’s a surplus
(The stars are everywhere)
Each one of them has a purpose
Life’s a crazy circus (without YOU)
Chorus
You won’t find the answers in the stars,
They can only show you where you are,
Pray for understanding, even if HE feels so far
Pray to the maker of the stars
Chorus repeat
