We've turned the page For a new day has dawned

And we've rearranged What is right and what's wrong

Somehow we've drifted So far from the truth

G Em F
That governed our lives Someday we all will awake

And look back just to find What we've lost

A heart that is pure And a love that is blind

A faith that is Fervently grounded in Christ

To the basics of life.....Oh oh

Through the changes of time Through the changes of time
