The River

Good Charlotte

   
1. 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

X: I heard that evil comes disguised
   Like a city of angels
   I'm walking towards the light

R: 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
   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

2. 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
   The worried Father
   Let your children go
   If they come back they'll come home stronger
   and if they don't you'll know

X: They sing that evil comes disguised
   Like a city of angels
   I'm walking towards the light

R: Baptized in the river...

   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
