the river (acoustic)

Lyrics

as i walk through the valley, of the shadow of l.a. 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 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 evil that 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, 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!
