As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
the footsteps that were next to me
have gone there 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 that beautiful place isn't everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
like a city of angels I walking toward the light
Reff :
Baptized in the river I see 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 a prodigal son
I was out on my own and I got to find my way back home baptized
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 comes back to life to the praying mother
and the worried father let your children go
if they come back they'll come on stronger and if they don't you know
they say that evil comes disguised like a city of angels i'm walking towards the light
back Reff:
[Chorus]
Baptized in the river (on my own)
baptized in the river (on my own)
I want to be delivered
(on my own) (on my own)
baptized in the river (on my own)
I want to be delivered
baptized in the river (on my own)
I want to be delivered
baptized in the river (on my own)
I want to be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I see a vision of my life and I want to be delivered !!
