Giuliano Palma The BlueBeaters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I go
Out to the sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky
And in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There is magic everywhere

Whoa, oh, oh

Look at me standing here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend (need a friend)
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
I stand here on my own
Yeah

Look at me standing here
I'm here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

And I need a friend (need a friend)
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone, yeah

Look at me standing here
I'm here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Oh, it's a wonderful life
Whoa, oh, oh

It's a wonderful life
Ooh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Wonderful Life" by Giuliano Palma & The BlueBeaters is about the beauty of life and the need for companionship. The song opens with the singer heading out to sea, describing the sunshine in their hair and dreams hanging in the air. They observe the gulls in the sky and in their blue eyes, feeling an unfairness as magic is all around them.

The singer then reflects on standing alone in the sunshine and feeling the need for a friend to make them happy and not be so alone. This plea for companionship is repeated throughout the song, with a nod to the judgment and rejection they may have faced from others just for existing. The chorus repeats the sentiment that life is wonderful and there is no need to run and hide or laugh and cry, with the final repetition of "Wonderful life" driving home the message.

Overall, the song encourages the listener to appreciate the beauty in life, but also acknowledges the importance of community and friendship in enjoying that beauty.
