Chasing After The Wind - Blue Highway

What does man gain from all his labor

All the rivers run down (down to the ocean)

Yet the sea is never full

What is twisted (can never be straightened)

What is lacking can never be counted

For with wisdom (comes much sorrow)

The more that’s known, the more we grieve in pain

I was a teacher

The King of all of Israel

I was a wise man

The wisest in the land

I was a rich man

I built the greatest houses

But without the hand of God

My life could have no meaning

It’s just chasing after the wind

The eye will never (have enough of seeing)

The ear will never hear enough to fill

There is nothing (new beneath the heavens)

What has been will someday come again

All my wisdom (All of my labor)

All are as folly in the sight of God

For the wise man (and the fool are not remembered)

They will die and be forgotten all the same

You are a teacher

The lord of all the kingdom

You are a wise man

The wisest in the land

You are a rich man

You refuse your heart no pleasure

But without the hand of God

Your life will have no meaning

You’re just chasing after the wind
