here are stars so distant, the light that left them 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 would be benign
That’s they 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
