I always wanted to see

What’s behind the mask

What lies beneath the surface

I’ve always done my best

To learn more and more

About me, about you

About ‘us’, about ‘them’

About who is who

What did I gain?

It’s all in vain

It’s all meaningless

Under the sun

We’re chasing the wind

We try to defeat time

We breathe, we live, we strive, we die

Under a stolid star

I always wanted to know

Who you really are

I constantly wondered

What’s behind your constant smile

What’s the use of being wise

In this world of fools?

Is it for sure that among the blind

The one-eyed man rules?

Nothing new

All seen before

Same old song

All heard before

We’re not the first

To grace this earth

But we can be the last

Ignoring the past

“With much wisdom comes much sorrow;

The more knowledge, the more grief

The more the words, the less the meaning

So do not be quick with your mouth

Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb

And as he comes, so he departs

Like the fool, the wise man too must die”

What did I gain?

It’s all in vain

It’s all meaningless

Under the sun

We’re chasing the wind

We try to defeat time

We breathe, we live, we strive, we die

Under a stolid star
