[intro] [acoustic guitar] The young man danced so gracefully Then dipped and filled his hand With a little starfish stranded on the sand He tossed it past a rushing wave and danced a little more Then gently picked another from the thousand on the shore. [short instrumental] “You cannot make a difference. It’s simply nature’s way.” I heard another say to him, [short pause] Then heard the young man say:, Of course, there are too many, and most die in the sun What I do may not matter But it mattered to that one. [short instrumental] This world needs its star-throwers They don’t weigh the cost. They take time to offer hope to others who are lost Mankind’s struggling on this beach, This beach that we call life The shifting sands, the crashing waves Can fill our days with strife. [Bridge] AndStrife can lead to anger And anger to despair. But there’s a saving message It’s up to us to share We cannot rescue everyone But there is one who saves The true star-thrower Jesus Christ Can pull them through the waves And if we share the good news We know when day is done What we did may not matter But we might have saved that one. [outro] We cannot rescue everyone But there is one who saves The true star-thrower Jesus Christ Can pull them through the waves
