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
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 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 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've seen a
vision of my life
And I wanna
be delivered
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 I'm trying
to find my
way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
Baptized in the river
Baptized in the river
I wanna be delivered
On my own...
Baptized in
the river...
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in
the river...
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in
the river...
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision
of my life
And I wanna
be delivered
