Dust in the Wind- Kansas

Dust in the Wind- Kansas
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity- Eccl. 2:16
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea- Eccl. 1:11
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see- Eccl. 3:22
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind- Eccl. 3:20
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky- Eccl. 1:4
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

I found the theme of this song to be related to the one in Ecclesiastes. As amazing as life "can" be, it doesn’t last forever and will end. It doesn’t wait on your dreams to become reality (Eccl. 2:16). Like a drop of water in an endless sea reminds me of one mans life compared to the lives of every other man to live. We will be forgotten as the sea continues to grow (Eccl. 1:11). Everything we work for will eventually crumble and we will not be able to see what happens after we are gone (Eccl. 3:22). “All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return” (Eccl. 3:20). “Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever” (Eccl. 1:4).
