'Is it the Way?' was created as a metaphor of the passion between human relationship and a pure God relationship. It is a song that deals with real issues of people being torn between two passions.

Story behind the song
I think in today's so called Christian music we have in some sense forgotten how to relate to people on their personal issues. If all my songs talk about being pure and holy, which is important, what about the guy who does not know God and his marriage is about to end and he’s searching for the words to tell his wife what she means to him? What is wrong with creating a song that helps that situation and restores some romance? Nothing at all!!! I am here to revolutionize the music industry and sing and talk about what others will not!!! My goal is for my music to really touch all types of people … and the lyrics and music arrangement will show just that. (Antwan L)
Lyrics
Chorus:
Is it the way that you love me?
Is it the way that you hold me?
Is it the way that you make me feel?
Verse 1a:
Sitting here wonderin’ how
To hold this love forever
When I’m in time of need
I can count on you indeed
Thinkin’ that the world is cold
Lookin’ for someone to hold
You come in with your soft caress
Our relationship stood the test
Verse 1b:
In the end there is no lover
To compare with the love I uncovered
Diamond I have found
You will always wear the crown
In my heart you will remain
Your name is my claim to fame
When I see yo' face
This love can’t be replaced
Chorus:
Is it the way that you love me?
Is it the way that you hold me?
Is it the way that you make me feel?
Verse 2a:
I feel richer than a prince in a palace
In my heart there is no malice
Your face I can see clear
Your voice I’ll always keep near
Friend when I’m alone
Sweeter than an ice cream cone
Your concerns are sincere
In my heart you’ll always stay dear
Verse 2b:
Can’t wait ‘til ya call me home
To a bond oh so strong
Medicine to ease my pain
Sunshine in pouring rain
Never meant to be alone
Just like notes in a song
When I see yo' face
This love can’t be replaced
Chorus:
Is it the way that you love me?
Is it the way that you hold me?
Is it the way that you make me feel?
