GOOD CHARLOTTE - 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
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!

	yerr but in general. that doesn't make them a christcore band. they dont base all their songs around religion. dear god is a good song though

	i dunno...but A7X made songs which are religious lyrics in it...such as "Beast and the Harlot", that song's lyrics was taken from Revelation in the Christian Bible

	no they are not christian. this is the only christian song. the reason they made this song to be more of a christrock song was because M.Shadows and Synyster Gate (of Avenged Sevenfold) were part of it, and had imput on the lyrics, and Avenged Sevenfold is a Christcore band.

	I give it 5/5 of course... I would give even 6 or 7, but there isn't any...

	This song is just amazing!!! The best on the album, but I love all from "Good Morning Revival". "The River" is the best to listen when you're going abroad journey and ride by night on highway... u see only lights of passing vehicles with speed about 180 km/h. It's sth incredible...
