[Verse 1]
Why can't we be humble
Like the good Lord said?
He promised to exalt us
But low is the way
How man be so greedy
When there's so much left?
All things are God given
And they all have been blessed

[Chorus]
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be

[Verse 2]
Let not your heart be troubled
Let mourning, sobbing cease
Learn how to help each one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd just be humble
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exalt us
But low is the way

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I hope you get this message
When you won't others will
You don't understand me
But I love you still

[Chorus]
