The Way Life`s Meant To Be — текст песни (E.l.o.)

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?
