That's The Way Of The World
Gary Valenciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday is the same
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
Going 'bout our business
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

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.

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 searching for answers


Hopin' that tomorrow would be better
Looking forward to a brighter future

I have no quarrel with those who aspire


Ambitious scheming minds
Those who seek success through manipulation

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

Brings comfort during times of pain


Never will He leave you alone

The future will come and go, just like the past


That's the way of the Word
This is the message of the Gospel
