Lyrics The Way Life's Meant to Be

Well, I came a long way to be here today

And I left you so long on this avenue

And here I stand in the strangest land

Not knowing what to say or do

As I gaze around at these strangers in town

I guess the only stranger is me

And I wonder

Yes, I wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

Although it's only a day since I was taken away

And left standing here looking in wonder

Oh, the ground at my feet

Maybe it's just the old street

But everything that I know lies under

And when I see what they've done to this place that was home

Shame is all that I feel

Oh, and I wonder

Yes, I wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

Too late, too late to cry the people say

Too late for you, too late for me

You've come so far

Now you know everything, my friend

Look and see the wonders of our world

Oh aah oh

And I wonder

Yes, I wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

As I wander around this wreck of a town where people never speak aloud

With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers

I wish I was back in nineteen eighty-one

Just to see your face instead of this place

Now I know what you mean to me

Ooh, and I wonder

Yes, I wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

Oh la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la la la la la

And I wonder

Yes, I wonder, wonder wonder, wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

Oh, I wonder

Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

Hmm

Is this the way life's meant to be

I wanna know, now

Is this the way life's meant to be
