The River
As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
Have gone their seperate ways
I've seen enough now to know
That beautiful things
Don't always stay that way
I've done enough now to know
This beautiful place isn't everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light


Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I want to be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back homeBaptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered


You're from a small town.
You're gonna grow up fast underneath these lights.
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard the dead come back to life.
To the praying mother and the worried father, let your children go.
If they come back home they'll come home stronger.
And if they don't you'll know.


They say that evil come disguised
Like a city of angels,
I'm walking towards the light


Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I want to be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back homeBaptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered


Baptized in the river.
On my own.
Baptized in the river.
On my own.
I wanna be delivered.
On my own.
On my own.


Baptized in the river.
On my own.
I wanna be delivered. (3x)


I confess I'm a sinner.
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
