Heaven only moved once yesterday
Before the moon and stars were born
Angels makin` love
And all along the coast of fear
Devil come screaming and tear them down
Heaven only moved once yesterday
In a neon jungle far below
Bargain basement prayer
A mother mourns her dying child
Never people taking the time to care
Heaven only moved once yesterday
Half the time they`re trying to take `em away
Everybody once we knew
Pay a dollar at the gate
A dead man gonna be coming on through

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

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

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
We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
