The wise man said
That life is vanity
For all we get
And all we do have
Too soon is lost in time
For what can we show
And what can we tell
When we are dead in the grave
With dirt thrown on top
And the final prayers said
There is simply no more to say.
Vanity of vanity
All is vanity
When all we do have
And all we do get
Shall soon be lost in time
But let we remember
That One above us
Who knows and feels
And by our side
He forever will remain
For He knows and holds the way.
