Baptized in the river
As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate 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 the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city with the 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 home..
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
Wanna be delivered
To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
Baptized in the river (on my own, on my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life
That I wanna be delivered
As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate 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 the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city with the 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 home..
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
Wanna be delivered
To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
Baptized in the river (on my own, on my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life
That I wanna be delivered
