Lyrics The Way Life's Meant 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.
Ooh,
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.
Ooh,
I
wonder,
Oh,
I
wonder,
wonder,
wonder
Is
this
the
way
life's
meant
to
be.
Oh,
oh,
is
this
the
way
life's
meant
to
be?
Mmm-mmm,
is
this
the
way
life's
meant
to
be?
I
wanna
know
now
Is
this
the
way
life's
meant
to
be.
