Verse 1
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...
Chorus
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
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... Ohhh
Chorus
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, now you know ev'ry thing my
friend
Just look and see the wonders of our world-----
Bass solo
Oh---------------wah la...
Chorus
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 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. Ohhhh
Chorus
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the
way life's meant to be...
(Through oh la la's G, C, D, G, C)
Outro
And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this
the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh
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.
