The Way LifeMeant To Be" - ELO
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)
Yes I wonder (oh 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
(It's your life it's your life)
Ah the ground at my feet maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under
(It's your life it's your life)
And when I see what they've done
To this place that was home
Shame is all that I feel
Oh and I wonder (oh I wonder)
Yes I wonder (wonder wonder wonder 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
And I wonder (oh I wonder)
Yes 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 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (oh I wonder)
Yes I wonder (yes I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be
And I wonder (oh I wonder)
Yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be
Ooohh I wonder
Oh I wonder wonder wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be
Oh is this the way life's meant to be
Mmmmm is this the way life's meant to be
I wanna know now
Is this the way life's meant to be
