Background
In an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy lead singer Theo Hutchcraft said of the song: "It's basically based on two extremes: the first being a man who wants to kill himself and the second being love at first sight. He's standing on the bridge about to jump and he's stopped by a woman. They see each other and fall in love. She basically says, 'Come with me, it's all going to be fine'. The song only offers a snippet of someone's life, so we don't know what happens at the end of it."
Wonderful Life is a soundtrack album by Cliff Richard with The Shadows to the 1964 film Wonderful Life. The album was very successful reaching #2 in the UK Albums Chart as well as #5 in the Australian Album Chart. Released in the US with title Swingers Paradise it was not so successful.
Curiously, some of the recordings on the album are not those used on the actual film soundtrack, including the title song. The vocal takes are different and in some cases the orchestrations are also altered slightly. The recordings on the album are generally more polished than the soundtrack ones
The vinyl LP released on the Columbia label in the UK featured an inner sleeve with a storyline outlining the plot and the position of each of the musical numbers, illustrated with stills from the film.

Kirishima, played by Takashi Sorimachi, is the most famous baseball player in Japan. He is forced to retire early due to injuries. His family abandons him and he decides to spend his time coaching at a local young boys baseball team. The team is verging disbandment because they had not won one single game.
Takashi plays the popular baseball player who gives kids the hope that "dreams come true", but in reality he is arrogant and a selfish flirt who spends his money pointlessly. Mizuki, played by Kyoko Hasegawa, wants to become a lawyer. Her brother plays on Kirishima's baseball team, but she can't stand Kirishima.
The name Martha is a Latin transliteration of the Koine Greek Μάρθα, itself a translation of the Aramaic מַרְתָּא Martâ, "The mistress" or "the lady", from מרה "mistress", feminine of מר "master". The Aramaic form occurs in a Nabatean inscription found at Puteoli, and now in the Naples Museum; it is dated AD. 5 (Corpus Inscr. Semit., 158); also in a Palmyrene inscription, where the Greek translation has the form Marthein.
Biblical references
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus visits the home of two sisters named Mary and Martha. The two sisters are contrasted: Martha was "cumbered about many things" while Jesus was their guest, while Mary had chosen "the better part", that of listening to the master's discourse. The name of their village is not recorded, nor any mention of whether Jesus was near Jerusalem:

Here I stand watching you, thinking you got it all Super job, Cadillacs, a mansion for a house Diamond rings, fancy clothes, expensive restaurants Living high on credit cards and you love to show it off I see your wonderful life, it sure looks better than mine You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie Little man, dressed to kill, pretend you got the life Mercedes Benz, three years lease, but you can't pay the price Look at you, big rock star, living above the crowd But fantasy is all it is when you're walking tall and proud Time will come to pay your debt and taste reality But no one's there to stop and stare, you're living in a dream I see your wonderful life, is it really better than mine? You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie I see your beautiful life, it looks like you've got it all Seems like it's a wonderful life but you're headed for a fall Such a wonderful life Such a beautiful life It's a wonderful life I see your wonderful life, is it really better than mine? You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie I see your beautiful life, it looks like you've got it all Seems like it's a wonderful life but you're headed for a fall I see your wonderful life, it ain't no better than mine Slave to the American dream, someday you will pay the price I see your wonderful life
