歌詞

The grass is full of little stars

That can't quite hold still

Down where the garden meets the dark

A small light blinks awake

Then two, then ten, then twenty more

Above the flower bed

Each one is barely anything —

Together, they're a sky

You light my little lamp, O Lord

You make my darkness bright

Even the smallest belly-glow

Is borrowed from Your light

One lands upon the lamb's white wool

And blinks there, going steady

The lamb holds still like it's been crowned

And was, in fact, born ready

They write in dots and dashes

A telegram of light

You light my little lamp, O Lord

You make my darkness bright

Even the smallest belly-glow

Is borrowed from Your light

I cup my hands but let them be

Some lights aren't meant for jars

They rise up off the sleeping grass

To go apply as stars

Mmm... mmm... mmm

You light my little lamp, O Lord

You make my darkness bright

Even the smallest belly-glow

Is borrowed from Your light

You light my little lamp, O Lord

You make my darkness bright

Even the smallest belly-glow

Is borrowed from Your light

The grass is full of little stars

I won't tell them to sleep
