Under the Sun
What is my sin never done before?
What is my sin that won't be done some more?
Is it adultery, theft or murder?
Hasn't it been done in Sodom and Gomorrah?
It would still be done even by my son
Nothing is new under the Sun
What is my pain never felt before?
What is my pain that won't be felt once more?
Is it heartbreak, disappointment or death?
Hasn't it once been felt upon the earth?
It would still be felt even by my son
For nothing is new under the sun
What is true beauty never seen before?
What is true beauty that has not yet been born?
Is it a fair beautiful and noble woman?
Hasn't she been seen since the time of Sarah?
She would still be seen even by my son
Nothing is new under the sun
What is strong drink never drunk before?
What is strong drink that cannot turn sour?
Is it dry gin, vodka or fine wine?
Hasn't it been drunk since Jesus Christ own time?
It would still be drunk even by my son
Nothing is new under the sun
What is a woman's body never touched before?
What is a woman's flesh that haven't felt a tour?
Is it her luscious chest, tender lips or bushy treasures?
Haven't men visited in strokes of countless pleasures?
It would still be touched even by my son
Nothing is new under the sun
What are known as riches never owned before?
What are riches not owned by Solomon?
Is it golden castles, diamonds or bounty wealth?
Hasn't it been owned before upon this earth?
It would still be owned even by my son
Nothing is new under the son
What is true love never known before?
What is true love that haven't proven pure?
Is it the loving feeling that sometimes make you think?
Hasn't it been known even before the Titanic?
It would still be known even by my son
Nothing is new under the sun
Who are earthly beings never owned before?
Who are earthly beings proven to be so sure?
Are they your family, lovers or dear friends?
Hasn't it been here and yet the ties still end?
They would still be owned even by my son
For nothing is new under the sun
