Wonderful Life
Embracing Life's Magic: The Meaning Behind 'Wonderful Life' by The Cooltrane Quartet
Lyrics
Here I go out to see again
Expressing the act of going outside to observe and experience life
The sunshine fills my hair and dreams hang in the air
Describing a positive atmosphere with sunlight, dreams, and a sense of magic
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
Noting the presence of seagulls in the sky and the reflection in the speaker's eyes
You know it feels unfair, there's magic everywhere
Highlighting the pervasive magic and beauty in the surroundings
Look at me standing here on my own again, up straight in the sunshine
Acknowledging standing alone confidently in the sunlight
No need to run and hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Emphasizing that there's no need to avoid challenges; life is wonderful
No need to laugh or cry, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Reiterating the idea that life is wonderful, regardless of laughter or tears
The sun's in your eyes, the heat is in your hair
Describing the sensory experience of sunlight in the eyes and heat in the hair
They seem to hate you because you're there
Noticing a feeling of resentment from others
And I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
Expressing a need for companionship and friendship
To make me happy, not stand there on my own
Desiring a friend to bring happiness and avoid solitude
Look at me standing here on my own again, up straight in the sunshine
Repeating the theme of standing alone confidently in the sunshine
No need to run and hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Reiterating the idea that challenges can be faced without the need to hide
No need to laugh or cry, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Emphasizing the overall positivity of life, regardless of emotions
Mmm, mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh
Indicating a moment of contemplation or reflection
I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
Expressing the ongoing need for a friend to prevent loneliness
To make me happy, not so alone
Stressing the importance of companionship for happiness
Look at me here, here on my own again, up straight in the sunshine
Repeating the theme of confidently standing alone in the sunshine
No need to run and hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Reiterating that challenges can be faced without the need to hide
No need to laugh or cry, it's a wonderful, wonderful life
Reemphasizing the overall positivity of life, regardless of emotions
It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
Concluding with a repeated affirmation that life is wonderful
