Waterfalls

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just cant touch
If at any time hes in a jam, shell be by his side
But he doesnt realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just aint helping
At all cause he cant 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
Dont go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that youre used to
I know that youre gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think youre moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just cant see
She gives him loving that his body cant handle
But all he can say is baby its good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesnt recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesnt know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Yall dont hear me?
Dont go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that youre used to
I know that youre gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think youre moving too fast
I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
Have come and gone leavin a trace of not
Good-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 onlymy 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 cri endurin pain that it keeps em in the pourin rain
Whos to bl a shame
You shoot and aim for someone elses brain
You claim the insane and name his 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
Dont go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that youre used to
I know that youre gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think youre moving too fast
Dont go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that youre used to
I know that youre gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think youre moving too fast
