A Stone Only Rolls Downhill

[Chorus]
I wish I could say it would all be all right
(It'll all be all right)
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
And I wish I could say it would all be all right
(It'll all be all right)
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
[Bridge]
And oh, the inertia
Of our ravenous brand of avarice
Of our selfishness
It was just too much
To overcome
Now we're overrun
[Chorus]
And I wish I could say it would all be all right
(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 could tell you it would be all right
(And I wish I could say it would all be all right)
Could tell you it'll all be fine, it'll work out
(I wish I could tell you it would all be fine)
Oh, how I wish I could tell you it'll all be fine
(It'll all be just fine)
Oh, how I wish that I could tell you it would be all right
(And I wish I could say it would all be all right)
Could tell you it'll all be fine, it'll work out
(I wish I could tell you it would all be fine)
Oh, how I wish I could tell you it'll all be fine
(It'll all be just fine)
It'll all be just fine
