Waterfalls
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
任何时候他身处危难她都会陪伴左右
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

I know that you're gonna have it your way

Or nothing at all

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
但他所能说的只有“宝贝这对我很好”
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror

Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not
来了又去留下一丝并非
Good-given ray, is it because my life is ten
神赐之光的踪迹，这是否因为我的生活
Shades of gray, I pray all ten fade away
充满黑暗，我希望所有的阴霾都褪去
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
却很少为了晴天而歌颂主
And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
就像他的誓言一样，只有我的信念能解决
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
那么多被我打压的信念都能带我重生
Clear blue and unconditional skies
湛蓝无瑕的天空啊
Have dried the tears from my eyes
我已经擦干眼泪
No more lonely cri endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain

Who's to bl a shame
能责怪谁呢（歌词有误）多丢人啊
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
你对准某人的脑袋开了枪
You claim the insane and name his day in time
你愚蠢地声称这天
For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system
是你堕落而犯罪的日子，我说这系统
Got you victim to your own mind
才是使你上当受骗的原因
