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
[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
[Chorus]
