lyrics

What are you lookin' for
A way out? Or a way back
What are you doin', man
You know that it's a trap
Take a good look around, my friend
You know, you've got to count your blessings
Don't you go chasin' down the wind
Fools gold—that's all you'll find

There's nothin' new under the sun
There's nothin' new under the sun

You're in the crucible
Don't fear it: walk through it
I know the fire is real
But your faith will see you through
So, until then
Don't you dare miss the new joy
Waiting for the old pain to pass
Grab a handful of the falling snow
You know this winter won't last

There's nothin' new under the sun
There's nothin' new under the sun
So why are you trying so hard
When it's all been done
You're pushing everyone away
Oh, please, wrestler, don't
Cause your time is slippin' away

Do you remember why you're living
Do you remember what you're living for
There's nothin' new under the sun
There's nothing new - you know it's true

No matter how deep the pain you measure
Or all of the golden things you treasure
There's nothin' new under the sun
There's nothin' new - except for you

Oh, wrestler, don't give up now
Oh, wrestler, don't give up now
Come on, wrestle those angels down
Oh, wrestler, you're so close now

Don't lose your wonder
Come on, don't lose your wonder, oh
Don't lose your wonder
Cause you're not under the sun
Oh, you're not under the sun
