Vanity
Lyrics
The world is all vanity
People living in a fantasy
The world is blind to me
While they're chasing after vanity
People busy focused on their dreams
While they're living in a fantasy
The whole earth is dead to me
With a world full of vanity
With much wisdom comes grief
Whoever keeps increasing
Knowledge has no relief
People striving after wind
A vapor in the wind
They come naked in the world just like their end
People's eyes are not content
With the money spent
They are always wanting more
From the beginning to the end
The day of death is better than your birth
You strive to eat and drink
And compete to be first
The dead know nothing
The living put away the hurst
The heart man is evil
Love possessions on the earth
The foolish claim they're wise
But their's blindness in their eyes
Both will be forgotten
The wise and foolish they will die
What's the purpose of your pride?
Why all the boasting in your life?
Why all the lust your eyes?
Why you living as if you won't die?
Who told you to buy that new house?
Who told you to buy that new car?
Who said money makes your worth?
Living life wish upon a dead star!
The world is all vanity
People living in a fantasy
The world is blind to me
While they're chasing after vanity
People busy focused on their dreams
While they're living in a fantasy
The whole earth is dead to me
With a world full of vanity
Don't be overly righteous
Nor be overly wise
Don't be overly wicked
Don't Be a fool
Why die before your time?
A lover of money never has enough
They're never satisfied with what they make
And what they bought
You can't take nothing
From the labor of your hand
You gain nothing but striving for the wind
Theirs no end to everyone's toiling
They're never content
By the wealth that they're earning
A slave to the grave
And the ground you're returning
It's better to be in a house
Full of people mourning
People are trapped in a time of calamity
That will fall upon the people
On the earth suddenly
It's a bitter death the woman who's a snare
Whose heart is a trap
Hands are chains that clap
The righteous will escape her
But the wicked will be captured by her
Fear God and keep his commandments
God will bring every deed into Judgements
God will bring every deed into judgement!
The world is all vanity
People living in a fantasy
The world is blind to me
While they're chasing after vanity
People busy focused on their dreams
While they're living in a fantasy
The whole earth is dead to me
With a world full of vanity
The world is all vanity
People living in a fantasy
The world is blind to me
While they're chasing after vanity
People busy focused on their dreams
While they're living in a fantasy
The whole earth is dead to me
With a world full of vanity
With much wisdom comes grief
Whoever keeps increasing
Knowledge has no relief
People striving after wind
A vapor in the wind
They come naked in the world just like their end
People's eyes are not content
With the money spent
They are always wanting more
From the beginning to the end
The day of death is better than your birth
You strive to eat and drink
And compete to be first
The dead know nothing
The living put away the hurst
The heart man is evil

Why you living as if you won't die?
