Today I'm in church, yesterday I was drunk The preacher has no idea, to him I'm a monk But for a heads turn many exams I'd have flunked Far below .. Deep, I have sunk One more step and there'll be no return I'm chasing I'm chasing A thin line I'm tracing These "things" I seek, these "things" I cherish When I'm gone, these things will Perish Money, houses, beauty, cars Even though we can't reach .. We sell the stars What is the meaning? .. What is the point? Why we fill our glass ..why we roll a joint Fancy cars and expensive clothes Annoying init how they don't join us in growth So we grow and we move on Ever searching for a new thrill.. For new fun My brother there's nothing new under this sun Vanity upon vanity so the bible says At the end of the road we would part ways Me and my new car, you and your cool clothes Instead of our time to God we pray.. We go online and "I'm bored",we say I'm no saint .. U bet your left eye, I stray But then I wonder.. Look out my window and stare into yonder Life's quality, how then do we measure? Because Some kids can't afford boredom to them its a treasure You see, boredom is a luxury, absence of usual pleasure Henceforth, I'll slow down, let me give u the low down The important things I'll appreciate My worries I'll elevate high to Him whom with, more I should relate Empty things and meaningless treasure For want of such we heap on our heads enormous pressure I hope therefore, my point I've made Vanity upon vanity ...
