The River (feat. Matt Shadows and Synyster Gates) Lyrics
As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of L.A.
The footsteps that were next to me
Have gone their separate waysI'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 sayI heard that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the lightBaptized 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 believerLike 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 deliveredYou'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 lifeTo 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 knowThey say evil that comes disguised
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the lightBaptized 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 believerLike 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 deliveredBaptized 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 deliveredBaptized 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!
