what do you gain from all that you've done |
|
everything comes to an end |
|
ages will go and ages will come |
|
and who will remember you then |
|
all that has been it will be again |
|
what has been done will be done |
|
clouds will return at the end of the rain |
|
and nothing is new, nothing under the sun |
|
what if i build you a house or a park |
|
what if i bought you a slave |
|
silver and gold and the treasure of kings |
|
with satin to line your grave |
|
as sure as the dust will return to the ground |
|
your knowledge will soon be gone |
|
as sure as a man should enjoy what he does |
|
nothing is new, nothing under the sun |
|
so everything is meaningless and so we carry on |
|
until we face the consequence of everything we've done |
