Intro

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... 

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; , , ,  

Oh---------------wah la... 

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... 

, , , ,   

Finale:

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.
