Why can't we be humble
Like the good Lord said?
He promised to exalt us
And show us the way

Why are men so greedy
When there’s so much left?
All things are God-given
And they all have been blessed

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, be
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
That’s the way God planned it
That's the way He wants it to be
Ohh, you gotta believe

Let not your heart be troubled
Let all your suffering cease
Just learn how to help one another
And live in perfect peace

If we just be humble
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exalt us
And show us the way
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
Hey, hey, yeah
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Oh, I want you to know
That's the way God planned it
That's the way He wants it to be
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

That's the way He planned it
(The way He wants)
He wants it
(The way He planned)
So you best be humble
(Like He said)
Better make it happen
(Like He said)
He planned it
(The way He wants)

(The way He planned)
You need to love your sister
(Like He said)
You need to love your brother
(Like He said)
So let's help each other
(Like He said)
And live
(In perfect peace)
I hope you get the message
Where you won’t, somebody will
You may not understand me
But I will love you still
