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]
|
