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 is so much left
All things are God given
All things have been blessed
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, to be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, to be
Let not your heart be troubled
Mmm, let the suffering cease
Learn to love one another
And live in perfect peace
If we'd just be humble
Just 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, to be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, to be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, to be
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, to be
