Supposed to be
When you’re a child growing up in this world
Your life is full of possibilities
You take a step one day at a time
Your parents always there right by your side
And when you fall, they lift you up
And when you cry, they take your hand
‘Cause when you’re young it’s hard to understand ...
Chorus
That life never turns out the way we want it to be
But if you look back to a moment in time
You realise, it turned out exactly the way
It was supposed to be
It’s not so easy to be in your teens
You spend your days sleepwalking in your dreams
And at the age of seventeen
The world is lying waiting at your feet
And when you fall you blame us all
And when you cry you slam the door
You’re growing up and start to understand ...
Chorus
That life never turns out the way we want it to be
But if you look back to a moment in time
You realise, it turned out exactly the way
It was supposed to be
So then you said that you’re taking control
You’ve planned ahead on reaching all your goals
Though things are never what they seem
Betrayal and failure shatter all your dreams
Now when you fall, you stand up tall
And when you cry, you hide from all
‘Cause now you’re old enough to understand ...
Chorus
That life never turns out the way we want it to be
But if you look back to a moment in time
You realise, it turned out exactly the way
It was supposed to be
