This song takes the "vanity of vanities" mantra from Solomon - maybe there CAN be "new under the sun" ...perhaps only through art, music, poetry, etc., - what do you think?

lyrics
Time and time again, deviate the plan
Stepping off the beaten path, wondering where I’ll land
In the trail of the wind, new life will spring once more
Much wiser than before, no more vanity
Find, new under the sun
Slow, and easy now, shift the paradigm
Love thy neighbor as yourself, release and refine
In the trail of the wind, new life will spring once more
Much wiser than before, no more vanity
There’s, new under the sun
In the trail of the wind, new life will spring once more
Much wiser than before, no more vanity
New under the sun
Sing a simple song, memorize the words
Share it on the Internet, help to spread the word
In the trail of the wind, new life will spring once more
Much wiser than before, no more vanity
Find, new under the sun
In the trail of the wind, new life will spring once more
Much wiser than before, no more vanity
New under the sun
