We’ve turned the page,
for a new day has dawned
We’ve re-arranged
what is right and what’s wrong
Somehow we’ve drifted
so far from the truth
That we can’t get back home
Where are the virtues
that once gave us light
Where are the morals
that governed our lives
Someday we all will
awake and look back
just to find what we’ve lost
-
We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
And a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently
grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
we need to get back
To the basics of life
-
The newest rage is to reason it out
Just meditate and you
can overcome every doubt
After all man is a God, they say
God is no longer alive
-
But I still believe
in the old rugged cross
And I still believe there I
s hope for the lost
And I know the rock
of all ages will stand
Through changes of time
-
We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
And a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently
grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
we need to get back
To the basics of life
-
BRIDGE
We’ve let the darkness
invade us too long
We’ve got to turn the tide
Oh and we need the passion
that burned long ago
To come and open our eyes
There’s no room for compromise
-
We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
And a love that is blind
-
We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
we need to get back
To the basics of life.
