A lonely mother gazing out of her window |
| [00:38] |
Staring at a son that she just can't touch |
| [00:43] |
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side |
| [00:48] |
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much |
| [00:56] |
But all the praying just ain't helping |
| [00:59] |
At all 'cause he can't seem to keep |
| [01:02] |
His self out of trouble |
| [01:05] |
So he goes out and he makes his money |
| [01:08] |
The best way he knows how |
| [01:11] |
Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me |
| [01:18] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [01:22] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [01:24] |
And the lakes that you're used to |
| [01:27] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way |
| [01:31] |
Or nothing at all |
| [01:33] |
But I think you're moving too fast |
| [01:41] |
Little precious has a natural obsession |
| [01:45] |
For temptation but he just can't see |
| [01:51] |
She gives him loving that his body can't handle |
| [01:56] |
But all he can say is baby it's good to me |
| [02:03] |
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror |
| [02:07] |
But he doesn't recognize his own face |
| [02:14] |
His health is fading and he doesn't know why |
| [02:18] |
3 letters took him to his final resting place |
| [02:23] |
Y'all don't hear me? |
| [02:25] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [02:29] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [02:31] |
And the lakes that you're used to |
| [02:35] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way |
| [02:38] |
Or nothing at all |
| [02:40] |
But I think you're moving too fast |
| [02:47] |
I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms |
| [02:50] |
Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not |
| [02:53] |
Good-given ray, is it because my life is ten |
| [02:54] |
Shades of gray, I pray all ten fade away |
| [02:56] |
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days |
| [02:59] |
And like His promise is true only my faith can undo |
| [03:01] |
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew |
| [03:04] |
Clear blue and unconditional skies |
| [03:07] |
Have dried the tears from my eyes |
| [03:08] |
No more lonely cri endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain |
| [03:18] |
Who's to bl a shame |
| [03:19] |
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain |
| [03:21] |
You claim the insane and name his day in time |
| [03:23] |
For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system |
| [03:25] |
Got you victim to your own mind |
| [03:27] |
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes |
| [03:29] |
Of comin' true, believe in yourself |
| [03:31] |
The rest is up to me and you |
| [03:32] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [03:36] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [03:38] |
And the lakes that you're used to |
| [03:42] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way |
| [03:45] |
Or nothing at all |
| [03:47] |
But I think you're moving too fast |
| [03:54] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [03:58] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [04:01] |
And the lakes that you're used to |
| [04:04] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way |
| [04:08] |
Or nothing at all |
| [04:10] |
But I think you're moving too fast |
