The Way Life's Meant To Be

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

Although it's only a day since i was taken away

And left standing here looking in wonder,

The ground 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,

And i wonder,yes i 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

Just look and see the wonders of our world

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,yes i wonder,is this

The way life's meant to be.
