I gave my heart to search for wisdom
In the earth and in the heavens
Studied every work that was done
Everything that lived under the sun.
All the world is come to hear me
See the path of life more clearly
Bringing all their treasures to me
All the world is laid before my feet
All is vanity.
Chorus:
If all the fountains of the earth
Could make their course to me
Still in thirst my soul would be
All is vanity.
The world has never witnessed such things
Kings and Queens my wisdom seeking
All the daughters of the princes
Stand before the pleasure of the King
All is vanity.
Now alas my hope is dying
All life's pleasures left me crying
Man's one joy in life is learning
To fear God and love Him all his life.
[Repeat Chorus]
