Way Life's Meant to Be

Well, I came a long way to be here today
今天我从很远的地方来到这里
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
当我环顾这镇上的陌生人时
I guess the only stranger is me

And I wonder (yes, I wonder)

Is this the way life's meant to be?
这就是生活的本来面目吗?
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)（
这是你的生活，这是你的生活）
Ah, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street
脚下的土地，可能只是古老的街道
But everything that I know lies under
但是我知道的一切仅仅在此
(it's your life, it's your life)（
这是你的生活，这是你的生活）
And when I see what they've done

To this place that was home
对曾经的家所做的一切
Shame is all that I feel

Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder)
我想知道
Yes, I wonder (wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)

Too late, too late to cry

The people say

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)

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
