It's meant to be

Hi,

"we're feeling it now 
Is this the way it's meant
to be "

1. Does "the way it's meant to be" mean "the way it's determined to happen, nobody can change it"? (i.e. the fate)
2. Is "it's meant to be" a common usage in English?

Thanks,

Is 'the way it's meant to be' common if I talk this with an American to mean 'the way it's fated'?

Thank you for the reply.
