Intro (Back to Basics)
(C. Aguilera/ Chris E. Martin/ Kara DioGuardi/ Roy Hawkins/ Rick Darnell)

A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemen
It is now time for the one and only
There never will be another
Christina Aguilera
That`s how music should sound

I`ve waited for sometime
To get inside the minds
Of every legend I`ve ever wanted to stand beside
It`s like an endless ride
Feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody every single rhyme

So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
And so to God I pray
That He will give strenght
To carry foward the gift of song in His good faith
In His good faith
I`m going back to basics
To where it all began
I`m ready now to face it
I wanna understand

What made the soul singers
And the blues figures, yeah
That inspired a higher generation
The jazz makers
And the ground breakers
They gave so much of themselves in dedication

So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
