The River - Take 40 Live Lounge Version

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 on strong
And if they don't, you'll know
They say that evil comes disguised
Like the City of Angels I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river (On my own)
Baptized in the river (On my own)
I wanna be delivered
I wanna be delivered
I wanna be delivered

I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
