A lonely mother gazing
out of the 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 the praying
just ain't helping at all
Cause he can't seem
to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out
and he makes his money
the best way he knows 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
but he just can't see
She gives him loving
that his body can't handle
But all he can say is baby
it's good to me
One day he goes 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
3 letters took him
to his final resting place
Ya'll dont'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
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
Come on
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come
Leaving a trace
of not one God given ray
Is it because my life
is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldem 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 a new
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 pouring rain
Who's to blame for shootin
'caine into you're 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
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and
the lakes that you're used to
I know that ypu're gonna have it
your way or nothing at all
But I think
you're moving too fast
