|
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 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 |
|
1-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 |
|
Y'all don't hear me? |
|
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 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 cri endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain |
|
Who's to bl a shame |
