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 evil I walking toward the light

[Chorus]
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

My shadows you're from a small town
you're gonna grow up 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

[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 DILIVERED
