Waterfalls Songtext
a lonely mother gazing out of her window
staring at a son that she just can't touch
if at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
but all that praying just ain't helping at all
he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
so he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
don't go chasing waterfalls
staring at a son that she just can't touch
if at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
but all that praying just ain't helping at all
he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
so he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
little precious has a natural obsession
for temptation that he just can't see
she gives him loving that his body can't handle
but all he could say is "baby it's good to me"
one day he go and takes a glimpse in the mirror
but he doesn't recognize his own face
his health is fading and he doesn't know why
4 letters took him to his final resting place
ya'll don't hear me?
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
i seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone
leavin' a trace of not one god-given ray
is it because my life is ten shades of gray
i pray all ten fade away
seldom praise Him for the sunny days
and like His promise is true only my faith can undo
the many chances i blew to bring my life to anew
clear blue and unconditional skies
have dried the tears from my eyes,
no more lonely cries
my only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope with such an endurin' pain that
it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
who's to blame for tootin' 'cain into your own vein?
what a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
you claim the insane and name this day in time
for fallin' prey to crime, i say the system
got you victim to your own mind
dreams are hopeless aspirations
in hopes of comin' true, believe in yourself
the rest is up to me and you
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
but I think you're moving too fast
i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
little precious has a natural obsession
for temptation that he just can't see
she gives him loving that his body can't handle
but all he could say is "baby it's good to me"
one day he go and takes a glimpse in the mirror
but he doesn't recognize his own face
his health is fading and he doesn't know why
4 letters took him to his final resting place
ya'll don't hear me?
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
i seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone
