NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

paraphrased from ECCLESIASTES 1

vanity of vanities
that what they said to me
vanity of vanities
all is vanity
what does it profit you
to work under the sun
one generation gone
and a new one just begun
no use in saying no
no use to say never
the seasons come and go
but the earth abides forever

each day the sun comes up
each night the sun goes down
and comes back again
while the world goes round and round
and though the wind blows north
some day the wind blows south
and it whirls and it curls
and comes outta your mouth
and all the rivers run
they run into the sea
yet sea is never full
it all comes back to thee

all things are full of life
no matter what you fear
the eye can only see
the ear can only hear
the thing that will have been
is what was meant to be
and that that which is true
is done for you and me
and no matter what you do
and no matter what you done
there is nothing new
nothing new under the sun

so if there's anything
of what is said is new
it already is old
the many shall be few
and what you can recall
what was is what it was
your memory will fail
no matter what it does
no matter what you do
and no matter what you done
there is nothing new
nothing new under the sun

so give your heart to seek
and search out what is wise
and listen when they speak
believe only your eyes
some things that may be bent
will never be made straight
some things you'll never get
in spite how long you wait
no matter what you do
and no matter what you done
there is nothing new
nothing new under the sun

so look into your heart
and look into your brain
and if you would be smart
then you must be insane
the more that you would know
the more it's gonna hurt
in wisdom is much grief
it's true throughout the earth
no matter what you do
and no matter what you done
there is nothing new
nothing new under the sun
