I wish I could say it would all be alright
(It'll all be alright)
I wish I could tell you it would all be fine
(It'll all be just fine)
But a stone only rolls downhill
And these things
They'll be what they will
What they will
ย
Someday soon, you'll look out from your hilltop perch
Your heart worn out from trying to make sense of the arc
Which only bends one way
And you rightly afraid
It don't seem to be the way that we thought
And I wish I could say it would all be alright
(It'll all be alright)
I wish I could tell you it would all be fine
(It'll all be just fine)
But a stone only rolls downhill (ooh)
And these things (ooh)
They'll be what they will
What they will
And, oh, the inertia
Of our ravenous brand of avarice
Of our selfishness
It was just too much
To overcome
Now we're overrun
And I wish I could say it would all be alright
(It'll all be all right)
I wish I could tell you it would all be fine
(It'll all be just fine)
Oh, how I wish that I (and I wish I could say)
Could tell you it would be alright (it would all be alright)
Could tell you it'll all be fine, it'll work out
(I wish I could tell you)
Oh, how I wish I could tell you it'll all be fine (it would all be fine)
(It'll all be just fine)
Oh, how I wish that I (and I wish I could say)
Could tell you it would be alright (it would all be alright)
Could tell you it'll all be fine, it'll work out
(I wish I could tell you)
Oh, how I wish I could tell you it'll all be fine (it would all be fine)
(It'll all be just fine)
Oh, how I wish that I (and I wish I could say)
Could tell you it would be alright (it would all be alright)
Could tell you it'll all be fine
