Weve turned the page, for a new day has dawned  Weve re-arranged what is right and what's wrong  Somehow weve 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 weve 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 is 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  Weve let the darkness invade us too long  Weve 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
