Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Solomon on the throne, a king with a restless heart
Sifting through pleasures, searching for where life's meaning starts
Riches he gathered, companions he held close at night
But a hollowness echoed, a dimming of the inner light
(Chorus)
Vanity, whispers the wind, a fleeting chase in the sand
Building castles, chasing dreams, all slip away from your hand
Vexation of spirit, a burden we all must bear
The striving, the yearning, leaves nothing but empty air
(Verse 2)
Wisdom he sought in knowledge, in laughter, in building grand
But the more that he gathered, the less he could understand
Fleeting achievements, a vapor that disappears
Like chasing the sunrise, chasing away all your tears
(Verse 3)
The sculptor with chisel, the dancer with graceful form
Each leave their impression, weather a coming storm
Though empires may crumble, and statues may turn to dust
The beauty they crafted, a whisper of fleeting trust
(Verse 4)
The sculptor with chisel, the dancer with steps so light
Each leave their creation, a flicker against the night
Though empires may crumble, and fortunes may fade away
The beauty they gave us, a reason for hearts to stay
(Verse 5)
The sculptor with calloused hands, chiseling stone all day
Each stroke a devotion, a beauty that won't decay
Though empires may crumble, and fortunes may fade with time
The art that she crafts transcends it, a testament so sublime
(Outro)
Let go of the grasping, the need to possess and control
Open your heart to the simple, let your spirit find its soul
For true meaning lies not in things, but in the connections we make
Love, compassion, kindness, the difference a life can take
