Intro: We've turned the page For a new day has dawned And we've rearranged What is right and what's wrong Somehow we've drifted So far from the truth That we can't get back home And where are the virtues That once gave us light And 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 time These are the basics We need to get back To the basics of life.....Oh oh The newest rage is to reason it out And just meditate 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 Oh I still believe there is hope for the lost And I know the Rock of all Ages Will stand Through the changes of time Through the changes of time We've let the darkness Invade us too long We've got to turn the tide Oh we need the passion That burned long ago To come and open our eyes 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 And a love that is blind A faith that Fervently grounded in Christ The hope that endures for all time These are the basics We need to get back To the basics of life oh To the basics of life (4x)
