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 !!
