Lyrics
We are Made of the Stuff of the Stars
Intro:
Am E F
She opened those big bright eyes and her little voice gave me a
7 F E F C
big question. Daddy...what is a star made of? What am I made of?
First Verse:
F G7 F G A7
I replied...See how the stars sparkle in the night...
C9 E9 C# C#7 F#
They come to us from heaven, that's where they took flight.
The twinkle in your eyes comes from their light.
Chorus:
C Am F G
Cause we are made of the stuff of stars.
Dm G7 A7
We are God’s special blend.
F G7 A7
When time bends back on itself
F G C
We will begin again.
Bridge:
Many years later, with a grown-up voice, she asked a similar question.
Dad...how am I like a star? Dad...where did I come from? I replied..
Second Verse:
Part of us is began at the birth of time and space.
Our true essence, was known by God, before the stars began their race.
The seeds of mankind were sown much later at a much slower pace.
Chorus:
Cause we are made from the stuff of the stars.
Love is our main ingredient.
When time bends back on itself we will begin again.
Bridge:
We are atomic particles living in a human sleeve.
But some time, in the future, it will be time for us to leave.
Our particles will go out into a wave.
To be with Creator and the souls he’s saved.
That is what I have come to believe.
Chorus:
Cause we are made of the stuff of stars.
That is where we begin and end.
When time bends back on itself we will begin again.
