The River 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-river-lyrics-good-charlotte.html ] 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 (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've seen a vision of my life And I wanna be delivered!
