The lead title track from the album, Daughtry revealed that it was his favorite song from the record. He told The Hollywood Reporter:
I know it’s going to raise questions and make people wonder if it’s a Christian album or if it’s a gospel album, and it’s not. I hope people don’t think it’s sacrile...
[Verse 1]
It's safe to say I'm lost
Without you in my arms
So I call your name and I pray you might
Come and wash over me like the pale moonlight
Until the sun comes back around
[Chorus]
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
Pull me in until I see the light
Let me drown, let me drown, in your honey, hunny
In your love, I wanna be baptized
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
I wanna be baptized
[Verse 2]
And the days and nights are cold
Without your body to hold
So I close my eyes hoping you'll appear
'Cause it feels like grace every time you're near, yeah
Don't leave, when the sun comes back around
[Chorus]
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
Pull me in until I see the light
Let me drown, let me drown, in your honey, hunny
In your love, I wanna be baptized
Baptized
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
I wanna be baptized
Take me down, take me down by the water
Pull me in until I see the light
Let me drown, let me drown, in your honey, hunny
In your love, I wanna be baptized
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
Pull me in until I see the light
Let me drown, let me drown, in your honey
In your lovem I wanna be baptized
Take me down, take me down by the water, water
In your love, I wanna be baptized
Let me drown, let me drown, in your honey, hunny
I wanna be baptized
