Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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's magic everywhere
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
The sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
I need is friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
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
I need a friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me standing
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
Wonderful life
Wonderful life
Wonderful life
The song "Wonderful Life" by Jono McCleery seemingly has a different meaning for different listeners, but it seems the lyrics are open to interpretation. The first line "Here I go out to sea again" could represent a person setting out on their own journey or starting over. The second line "The sunshine fills my hair" could be a metaphor for a person feeling content or fulfilled. The third line "And dreams hang in the air" could represent endless possibilities that lay ahead.
The chorus, "No need to run and hide It's a wonderful, wonderful life No need to laugh and cry It's a wonderful, wonderful life," seems to suggest that life is amazing and there is no need to be anxious or worry. However, the bridge "I need a friend Oh I need a friend To make me happy Not so alone" brings forth a different sense of emotion. The singer seems to express loneliness and a need for companionship. The song then ends with the repetition of the phrase "It's a wonderful, wonderful life," which could mean that despite the ups and downs, life is still amazing.
