Baptized
Hold your own
And pray that the red light running
Past doesn't stop at your window
(Red light)

I've spent so long wishing
I've spent so long waiting
It's been too many winters in this cold town
And this city's slowly bringing me down

I've been sleeping on my own a long time
How'd I get up?
Been lost under the Cape Town sky
Searching for provenance
In a place that I'll never find

Patiently wandering
I've smoothed round the edges
The water doesn't call me anymore
And it's been months since I heard from the shore

Baptized
Hold your own
And pray that the red light running
Past doesn't stop at your window

I've spent so long wishing
I've spent so long waiting
I've spent so long wishing
I've spent so long waiting
I've spent so long wishing

I've spent so long waiting
I've spent so long wishing
I've spent so long waiting
I've spent so long wishing
(I've been caught up in your shining light)

I've spent so long waiting
(I've been left holding onto a time that the tide long capsized)
I've spent so long wishing
(I've been caught up in your shining light)
I've spent so long waiting
You've gotta hold your own
Hold

Baptized
Hold your own
And pray that the red light running
Past doesn't stop at your window

Baptized
Hold your own
And pray that the red light running
Past doesn't stop at your window

Baptized
Hold your own
And pray that the red light running
Past doesn't stop at your window

(Red light)
I've spent so long wishing
I've spent so long waiting
It's been too many winters in this cold town
And this city's slowly bringing me down
