Star from afar (Song)

1.
Star from afar
through the night,  you come travelling
just like a javelin
thrown through space.

 

2.
Star from afar
your whole journey is humbling;
a tear that is tumbling
down God's face.

 

Chorus:
When I see you go flashing by;
you look so very small
then I realise how small am I
in the scheme of it all.

 

3.
Star from afar
like a sky beetle scurrying
where are you hurrying
at that pace?

 

4.
Star, what you are
is a pyre like a peregrine
I always wear a grin
when you race.

 

Chorus:
When I see you go flashing by;
you look so very small
and I realise how small am I
in the scheme of it all.
