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's
