| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
