Lyrics
God beyond the stars, God a-way far out there, did you know that life?s unfair?
God beyond the stars, God a-way far out there, can you hear me?
Do you care that I?m lost and alone down here,
Alone and scared out of my wits?
CHORUS
That?s how it is for a girl lost in this city
Looking for more than its scorn mixed up with pity
What I need, I don?t get.
God beyond the stars, could you see your way free to loving me.
God beyond the stars, God a-way far out there, do I matter??
God beyond the stars, God a-way far out there, do you wonder,
Wonder where in the world I belong down here?
?Cause I wonder all the time.
CHORUS
