Why can't we be humble
Like the good Lord said?
He promised to exalt us
But long is the wait
Why men be so greedy
When there's so much left?
All things God given
And they all have been blessed
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
(Ooh)
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be
(Ooh)
Let not your hearts be troubled
Let moaning and sobbing cease
Learn how to help one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd all just be humble
Like the good lord said
He promised to exalt us
But long is the wait
(That's the way God planned it)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah he wants it to be
