The Basics Of Life

Play sample

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
