Vanity Lyrics

Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

Generations come and generations go
But the earth remains the same
The sun rises and the sun sets
And hurries back to where it rises

All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full
To the place the streams come from, there they return again

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again
There is nothing new under the sun

Thus the preacher says:
Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

The wind blows to the south
And runs to the north
Round and round it goes
Ever returning on its course

The wise man, like the fool, both must die
The rich man and the poor, the same destiny

Death is the destiny of every man, the living should take this to heart
Naked a man comes from the womb, and naked he departs

Thus the preacher says:
Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

Under the sun - without God's Son!
Under the sun - without God's Son - this life remains meaningless!
