The Basics Of Life

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
 CHORUS
 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
 REPEAT CHORUS
 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
 REPEAT CHORUS
