Born in the suburb of Santa Mesa in Manila on August 6, 1964, he is the sixth of Vicente Valenciano and Grimilda Santiago Ortiz’s seven children. Santiago Ortiz is a Puerto Rican woman of Italian descent who became a popular opera singer in Manila during the 1960s, and her love for music passed down to her son, Gary. He took his primary and secondary studies in La Salle Greenhills. It was during his high school days, while on a brief stint with the musical group Kundirana, that he devoted himself to music.
Valenciano started performing in 1982 and launched his career in singing and show business on May 13, 1983. He first appeared as a solo in a television show called The Pilita and Jackie Show in 1982, but he was finally noticed after his performances in the TV shows Germspesyal and Penthouse Live. He had his first solo concert, in April 1984, inside the jam-packed Araneta Coliseum. That would be followed by 21 albums, three of them released internationally, including a Christian inspired album called Out of the Dark.
He is married to Maria Anna Elizabeth "Angeli" Evangelista Pangilinan, with whom he has three children: Juan Paolo Martin (a vocalist of the band Salamin), Jose Angelo Gabriel (a dancer), and Kristina Maria Mikaela.
That's The Way Of The World
Gary Valenciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same sorrow and pain
We laugh and we cry
We are low and then we get high
And then we look, and we search
And we seek to put the pieces
Of the puzzle together
Doing our best to keep it all together
Seldom thinking of one another
Hey that's not the only way
That's the way of the world
Ooh...Yeah...
(That's the way of the Word)
(That's the way of the Word)
Has there ever been a time
When in your mind
You just felt like giving up
Wanting to surrender
You've been tryin' to find your way
Hopin' that tomorrow would be better
Much better than today
You will find peace of mind
If you look in the right place
You will find your way back home
If you look in the right place
You won't be lost out in the storm
There is a way, the only way
It will see you through today and tomorrow
Just believe it in your heart
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard about it
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard
(That's the way of the Word
Ooh...
If you believe
And see with your heart
And then you will know
Yeah...yeah...ooh...ooh
It's the way of the Word
You better believe it son
They say it's the year 2000
Judgment day will come
The grand finale, comin' to take you over
It's the King Almighty, please...
Forgive us of our sins
Bless us with all your heart
And give me wisdom so I can preach
All your words to every man, woman
And child walkin' on the streets
I ain't got no beef with all ya wanna be
Ambitious scheming minds
Read the Bible I suggest and you shall find
Who knows what may happen tomorrow
Don't fear if you know who you follow
Takes away your tears and your sorrows
Never will He leave you alone
In your heart is where He'll make His home
Takes away your tears and your sorrows
Who knows what tomorrow may bring
Fear not if you follow the King
He takes away your tears and your sorrows
Keeping it high
Clapping my hands, look in my eye
Am I telling a lie? No, Let's keep it real
We've come together on this special day
To sing our message loud and clear
Looking back we've touched on sorrowful days
Future pass, they disappear
You will find peace of mind
If you look in the right place
You will find your way back home
If you look in the right place
You won't be lost out in the storm
There is a way, the only way
It will see you through today and tomorrow
Just believe it in your heart
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard about it
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard
(That's the way of the Word
Ooh
If you believe
And see with your heart
And then you will know
That's the way of the Word
That's the way of the Word
That's the way of the Word
In Gary Valenciano's song "That's the Way of the World," the artist explores the cyclical nature of life and the universal human experience of seeking meaning and connection in a world that can often feel overwhelming and isolating. The lyrics observe how life is a series of highs and lows, joys and sorrows, and how people are constantly searching for the missing pieces of the puzzle that they hope will bring it all together. The song encourages the listener to take heart and have faith, reminding them that there is a way to find peace, to come home, and to weather the storms of life. It suggests that by looking in the right place, believing with one's heart, and following the wisdom of a higher power, we can find the strength and resilience to face whatever comes our way.
Line by Line Meaning
Everyday is the same
Each day is a repetition of the day before
Same sorrow and pain
The pains and sorrows remain constant
We laugh and we cry
We experience both joy and sorrow
We are low and then we get high
Sometimes we face hard times before things get better
And then we look, and we search
We seek answers to life's difficulties
And we seek to put the pieces
We try to make sense of the puzzle
Of the puzzle together
Make sense of life's mysteries
Doing our best to keep it all together
We strive to maintain balance amidst life's chaos
Going 'bout our business
We are busy with our daily routines
Seldom thinking of one another
We rarely have time to think about others
Hey that's not the only way
There's an alternative to the usual way of life
That's the way of the world
This is how life is and how people behave
Has there ever been a time
Have you ever felt
When in your mind
In your thoughts
You just felt like giving up
You felt like quitting
Wanting to surrender
Giving up and admitting defeat
You've been tryin' to find your way
You've been searching for answers
Hopin' that tomorrow would be better
Looking forward to a brighter future
Much better than today
A future full of hope and promise
You will find peace of mind
You will achieve inner peace
If you look in the right place
If you search for answers in the right place
You won't be lost out in the storm
You will not be alone when facing difficulties
There is a way, the only way
There is only one solution
It will see you through today and tomorrow
It will guide you through tomorrow and beyond
Just believe it in your heart
Have faith in it
Haven't you heard about it
Have you not heard of this solution
If you believe
If you have faith
And see with your heart
If you see the truth within yourself
And then you will know
You will have a revelation
They say it's the year 2000
It was believed to be the year of judgment
Judgment day will come
The day of reckoning is coming
The grand finale, comin' to take you over
The end is near, taking over everything
It's the King Almighty, please...
It is the all-powerful God
Forgive us of our sins
Pardon our wrongdoings
Bless us with all your heart
Grant us your love and blessings
And give me wisdom so I can preach
Give me insight to spread your word
All your words to every man, woman and child walkin' on the streets
Spread your message to everyone
I ain't got no beef with all ya wanna be
I have no quarrel with those who aspire
Ambitious scheming minds
Those who seek success through manipulation
Read the Bible I suggest and you shall find
I recommend reading the Bible to discover the truth
Who knows what may happen tomorrow
No one knows what the future holds
Don't fear if you know who you follow
Do not be afraid if you have faith
Takes away your tears and your sorrows
Brings comfort during times of pain
Never will He leave you alone
God will not abandon you
In your heart is where He'll make His home
God resides within our hearts
Keeping it high
Maintaining a positive outlook
Clapping my hands, look in my eye
Expressing joy with gestures and gaze
Am I telling a lie? No, Let's keep it real
I am being honest and genuine
We've come together on this special day
We are united on this important day
To sing our message loud and clear
To communicate our message emphatically
Looking back we've touched on sorrowful days
We have reflected on difficult times in the past
Future pass, they disappear
The future will come and go, just like the past
That's the way of the Word
This is the message of the Gospel
