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
verse 2
Although it's only a day since I was taken away and left
standing here looking in wonder
Oh the crowd at my feet maybe it's just the old street but
every thing 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 Ohhh
And I wonder, yes I wonder is this the
way life's meant to be
Bridge;
Too late too late to cry the people say
Too late for you too late for me
You've come so far, nah you know ev'ry thing my friend
Love can see the one that's out my way
Bass solo; A, D, E, A
And I wonder, yes I wonder is this the
way life's meant to be
verse 3
As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people
never speak aloud with it's ivory towers and it's plastic
flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face in stead of this place now I know what
you mean to me. Ohhhh
And I wonder, yes I wonder is this the
way life's meant to be
And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this
the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh (2x)
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.
