As I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of L.A.
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 the City of Angels
I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river
I 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

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, they'll come home stronger
And if they don't you'll know

They say
That evil comes disguised
Like the City of Angels
I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river
I 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

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
Baptized in the river
(On my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river
(On my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
