Verse 1
When I ran off to college, some brothers fell into debasement/But I fell into books, you could call it an education/And I would find brothers to debate and talk the day away with/And there was a day when I found such an occasion/When a brother offered peace, he said, “Assalamu alaikum”/I responded, but before my words fell on the pavement/He said, “Brothers are asleep; I just try to wake them”/And he pulled out a book and he started turning the pages/He said, we agree there is one God whom man should place his faith in/And His kingdom is not of this world, but brother there is a way in/And I said I know that, and I know who the way is/When he said it is not Jesus, I had to say that is where the debate ends/We may differ on the scriptures, but we can’t dismiss that it’s His Word/And when I am looking for the truth, I turn to Him first/And my Lord is why I am never timid in speech/I know my Savior lives, because He is living in me

Hook
He is the way, He is the truth, the life/I’ve found everything I need in life, I’ve find it in Christ (Repeat 3x)/He is the way, He is the way

Verse 2
When I was in college we heard of different ologies/And found beliefs others felt were worth acknowledging/And one scholar he, said he had possibly read the anthologies of Kemetic philosophies/”The Crito” and “The Apology” by Plato and Socrates/He was the one who had paid his college fees and felt like he had gotten deep/And as he was talking, I let none of that bother me/Until he said, “Brother, I am a god, god is me/And my brother god is you/Don’t look so confused, the truth shouldn’t bother you/I can even walk you through your book and argue you proof”/That’s when I saw what he was talking in circles to circumvent the truth/So I apologized for not celebrating his power/He must have clothed the dirt with grass, then decorated it with flowers/Painted the sky and made rain fall downward/And hung the sun for light and designate the hour/Otherwise, he is just one of us other guys/But he has been beguiled and believing one of those other lies/That is why as he was talking, that he had to say didn’t come a surprise/But I did respond with only one reply//It had no more riddles, no more parables or metaphors/I will speak the truth and let it roar/Jesus is Lord, and that’s the realest thing I’ve ever said before

Hook
He is the way, He is the truth, the life/I’ve found everything I need in life, I’ve find it in Christ (Repeat 3x)/He is the way, He is the way
