"The Way Life's Meant to Be"

I listened to Time back in October and noticed a feature in the rhyme scheme of "The Way Life's Meant to Be."  Along with line-ending rhymes (ABCB), there's internal rhyme in the first and third lines of each verse:

Well, I came a long way to be here today

And I left you so long on this avenue

And here I stand in the strangest land

Not knowing what to say or do

This pattern is broken in the fourth verse:

And when I see what they've done to this place that was home

Shame is all that I feel

Oh, and I wonder, yes, I wonder

Is this the way life's meant to be

"Feel" doesn't rhyme with "be," but more significantly, there's a slant rhyme between "done" and "home."  The change in the established rhyme scheme mirrors the change that "this place that was home" has undergone.
