[Verse 1]
I was reborn in the water
Cold hands, clean slate
River ran through my story
Pulled that weight away
Eyes came up from the deep end
And I knew my name
No more chains on my shoulders
No more shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I came up new
Came up new
Heart wide open
Spirit too
What was buried
Went away
I stepped in the water
Left the old me there
[Chorus]
I got baptized
I got baptized
Cleansed in the river
Now I’m alive
I got baptized
I got baptized
Opened my eyes
And I found my light
[Verse 2]
I was tired of the dark road
Tired of the same fight
Then the current took my heartache
Made it feel right
Every scar got a silence
Every tear got peace
Now I walk like I mean it
Now I’m released
[Pre-Chorus]
I came up new
Came up new
Heart wide open
Spirit too
What was buried
Went away
I stepped in the water
Left the old me there
[Chorus]
I got baptized
I got baptized
Cleansed in the river
Now I’m alive
I got baptized
I got baptized
Opened my eyes
And I found my light
[Bridge]
I was buried, now I’m breathing
I was lost, now I’m seen
Water touched the broken places
Made a whole new me
I was buried, now I’m breathing
I was lost, now I’m seen
When I rose up from that river
I rose up clean
[Chorus]
I got baptized
I got baptized
Cleansed in the river
Now I’m alive
I got baptized
I got baptized
Opened my eyes
And I found my light
