Shane & Shane's song 'Over The Sun' reflects on the wisdom of Solomon, who, after experiencing life's fleeting pleasures, advises looking beyond earthly pursuits. The lyrics describe a conversation by a fireplace where Solomon shares that wealth and vanity fade, urging listeners to find true life hidden in God. The song emphasizes that earthly things leave one empty, pointing to a deeper spiritual reality. It encourages a shift from temporal concerns to eternal perspective, echoing themes from Ecclesiastes about the meaninglessness of life under the sun and the call to seek what is above.

Sitting around the fireplace
With a friend who's been through it all
Solomon, wisest one
Tell me what you have found
Under the sun, under the sun
He answered
Get over
Get over
Get over the sun
Where life is hidden
Then he put on
A sombre face
Talked about how
The rich man will waste
Away in the ground
Where the poor man is found
Painted up, like a clown
Under the sun, under the sun
He answers
Son you'll soon be done
A life spent on some shiny god
Who leaves you empty
Get over
Get over
Get over the sun
Where life is hidden
