Sitting around the fireplace
With a friend who’s been through it all
Soloman, wisest one
Tell me what you have found
Under the sun, under the sun
He answered

Get over the sun
Where life is hidden

Then he put on
A somber face
Talked about how
The rich man will waste
Away in the ground
Where the poor man is found
Painted up, like a clown
Under the sun, under the sun
He answers

Son you’ll soon be done
A life spent on some shiny god
Who leaves you empty




Behind the Song:
"In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon looks for meaning and satisfaction in EVERYTHING under the sun... and He discovered that it is all found on the other side. This song is a letter to us who are stuffing our faces with the food found under the sun, hoping to quench an eternal thirst. This song is a letter from Solomon telling us to stop looking here, and start looking over the sun, where life is hidden." - Shane Barnard
