There's a crack in the black sky
It's startin' to pour
Hell fallin' in the night, water on the rise
Can't do nothin' but pray at this point
Beggin' God to survive, if you make it out alive
Gonna be a new man crawlin' out the other side
Baptized by the river
Baptized by the river, yeah
Black water rollin' by o're my soul now I'm
Washed in the blood, away with the flood
Leavin' sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud
Baptized by the river, yeah
In the middle of a thunderstorm
Heavy lightin' strikin'
The shore's on fire
The struggle for your soul feels out of your control
As the water keeps gettin' higher
So you close your eyes and you fight to find
The strength to keep swimmin' up towards the light
Baptized by the river
Baptized by the river, yeah
Black water rollin' by o're my soul now I'm
Washed in the blood, away with the flood
Leavin' sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud
Baptized by the river, yeah
In the middle of a thunderstorm
