Berikut adalah lirik lagu 'River' yang merupakan salah satu hits dari album "Good Morning Revival" dari Goof Charlotte:
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
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
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
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'll come back, they'll come home stronger
And if they don't, you'll know
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
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
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.***
