Good Charlotte. Too good to be true.

We know Good Charlotte ain't the best role models for our kids with their tattoos and eye liner but they are capable of writing some spiritually influenced songs; all thanks to their lead singer, Joel Madden being brought up in a Christian home. I really liked the song from their previous album, "We believe" which talks about a love that falls down like rain and whose forgiveness washes away our pain. The other day I was flipping through channels and MTV was showing their recent concert held in Malaysia. The lead singer siad something from the Bible which caught my attention just when I was about to change the channel again. Lets just say I'm not really into Good Charlotte. They sang "The River" after Joel's "preaching". Haha. Anyway here's the lyrics to "The River" and you can see for yourself how spiritual it is. It delights me to know that beneath the worldly music industry, God is still working down there.

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
.
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a 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
.
[M.Shadows:]

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 home stronger
And if they don't you'll know
.
They say that evil comes disguised
Like a 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
.
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!
