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
Im walking towards the light

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

Your from a small town.
Your 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 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 delievered
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 im trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delievered
I'm delievered

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.
