everything falls


it doesn't matter
what you are
you could be a mountain
you could be a star
you could be a redwood
standing tall
but sooner or later
everything falls

you can try
to climb a hill in vain
you can fly
in an aeroplane
you can find yourself
high on alcohol
one thing's for certain
everything falls

          everything falls
          it drops down to the ground
          everything falls
          you're never safe and sound

one day you're sitting
on top of the world
with congratulations
flags unfurled
you may be
at the peak of it all
but it's going to happen
everything falls

          everything falls
          no matter what you do
          everything falls
          it's going to happen to you

so do what you want to
make a joyful noise
joke with your neighbors
play with all your toys
one day your footsteps
will slow down to a crawl
it's sad but it's true
everything falls
