Lyrics

Vanity of Vanities

Verse One
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
Deliver us and let us prosper
One generation goes, another comes
The sun rises and the sun sets
Southward blowing
Turning northward
Only that shall happen
Which shall happen
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Verse Two
Seasons for everything
A time to be born and a time to dye
A time for sickness and for healing
A time for weeping and for laughing
A time for wailing and for dancing
A time for loving and for hating
A time for silence and for speaking
A time for war and for peace
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Chorus
Nothing added to it, nothing taken from it
Water from the fountain and be happy all your days
Our Messiah, He is coming, that?s what the Torah says
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Verse Three
Under the sun I have seen
The race is not won by the swift
Nor the battle by the valiant
Nor is bread won by the wise
Nor wealth by the intelligent
Nor favor by the learned
Mischance comes to us all
We do not know our time
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Chorus
Nothing added to it, nothing taken from it
Water from the fountain and be happy all your days
Our Messiah, He is coming, that?s what the Torah says
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Verse Four
When the guards of the house become shaky
And the songs of the birds fade away
Music dyes down and mourners all around
Before the silver chord snaps
And the gold bowl crashes
And the dust returns to the ground
And the life breath goes back
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
There?s nothing new beneath the sun

Chorus
Nothing added to it, nothing taken from it
Water from the fountain and be happy all your days
Our Messiah, He is coming, that?s what the Torah says
There?s nothing new beneath the sun
