The Will

Bad things happen to good people every day
It's just the way
It's just the way
And so we're searching for the reason that will make it seem okay
To find our balance in life's ballet

Is it the Wheel of Dharma
Is it the Father and His mysterious plan
Is creation always born of destruction
Is it the will
The will of god or man

Bad things happen to good people every day
It's just the way
It's just the way
And so we're searching for the black and white in all these shades of grey
All the world's a stage but who writes the play

Is it the Wheel of Dharma
Is it the Father and His mysterious plan
Is creation always born of destruction
Is it the will
The will of god or man

And when disaster strikes
War or sickness, storm or flame
Are we inclined to lend a hand or find someone to blame
The judgment of the Pharisees come around again
We swapped out phones and TV screens for their bitter words and poison pens

And you say bad things happen 'cause you don't believe what I believe
Searching for the reason
Find someone to blame

Is it the Wheel, is it the Father, is destruction the will of god or man
