The Way Life's Meant To Be
Electric Light Orchestra 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 As I gaze around at these strangers in town, I guess the only stranger is me, Not knowing what to say or do. The way life's meant to be. And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this And left standing here looking in wonder, The ground at my feet feet maybe it's just the old street Although it's only a day since I was taken away But everything that I know lies under, And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this And when I see what they've done to this place that was home, Shame is all that I feel, The way life's meant to be. You've come so far now you know everything my friend Too late for you, too late for me, Too late, too late to cry, the people say, Just look and see the wonders of our world. As I wander around this wreck of a town With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers Where people never speak aloud, I wish I was back in 1981 Just to see your face, instead of this place Now I know what you mean to me, The way life's meant to beAnd I wonder, yes I wonder, is this |
