Everything is...

Vanity

Like a built up calamity

Meaningless

Think of the futileness

Ispraznost ["vanity"]

Issai wa soradearu ["everything is empty"]

Vanidad de vanidades ["vanity of vanities"]

Everything is

Vanity

Like a built up calamity

Meaningless

Think of the futileness

Ispraznost ["vanity"]

Issai wa soradearu ["everything is empty"]

[VERSE 1]

You treasure the hevel, [Hebrew for "vapor", often translated as "vanity"]

You dance with the devil

Yet, you wait for hemel [German for "heaven"]

But lo zacar ha-abba [Hebrew for "don't remember the Father"]

What are you after

It comes to disaster

You build up your story

And just to get glory

Just like

The rivers,

The wind,

And the sun

You travel the world

Live by the sword

Repeating history

Still it’s misery

All of it’s pointless

Efforts are hopeless

Generations come

And generations go

Call it all meaningless

But only if you miss this

Live with- a little less worry

Little less hurry

I know what you heard

But look at God’s word

Fearing

The Father

The Spirit

And Son

Get the sevarity

Walking purity

Cuz what you after

Detirmines where ya go after

[CHORUS]

Everything is...

Vanity

Like a built up calamity

Meaningless

Think of the futileness

Ispraznost ["vanity"]

Issai wa soradearu ["everything is empty"]

Vanidad de vanidades ["vanity of vanities"]

Everything is

Vanity

Like a built up calamity

Meaningless

Think of the futileness

Ispraznost ["vanity"]

Issai wa soradearu ["everything is empty"]

[VERSE 2:]

V’zarach Ha-Shemesh [Hebrew for "The sun rises"]

In the East

Then it sets

In the West

Ha-Ruach [Hebrew for "the wind"]

From the North

And then back

To the South

Generations come

And they go

But Ha-‘aretz [Hebrew for "the earth"]

It remains

What has been

It will be

What’s done

Will be done

Nothing new

Under the sun

In the end,

When all’s been heard

Fear God

And keep His word

He will judge

Hidden or seen

Every deed

Evil or good

[VERSE 2b:]

The money,

The fame,

The glory

To build up your story

The pleasures,

The fun,

The treasures

Buried ancestors

Build up your knowledge

Study in college

Do you know your God is?

Are you giving Him halmage?

Look, if I’m honest

You ever saw homeless (formerly Thomas)?

Hurting in bondage?

You ever show what love is?

There’s plenty of harvest

And everything else is garbage

Where’s your treasure?

There your heart is

[CHORUS]

Everything is...

Vanity

Like a built up calamity

Meaningless

Think of the futileness

Ispraznost ["vanity"]

Issai wa soradearu ["everything is empty"]

Vanidad de vanidades ["vanity of vanities"]

Everything is

Vanity

Like a built up calamity
