[00:17.194]A lonely mother gazin' out of the window
[00:22.708]Staring at her son that she just can't touch
[00:28.475]If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:34.997]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:41.100]
[00:43.104]Don't go chasin' waterfalls
[00:48.458]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[00:54.491]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:01.895]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:06.662]
[01:10.429]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:16.195]For temptation but he just can't see
[01:22.669]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:29.492]But all he can say is, "Baby it's good to me"
[01:36.401]Don't go chasin' waterfalls
[01:41.667]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[01:48.189]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:54.961]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:59.480]
[02:09.942]I seen a rainbow yesterday
[02:15.262]But too many storms have come and joined
[02:18.775]Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
[02:24.039]Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
[02:30.248]I pray, all ten fade away seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[02:36.841]My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
[02:39.849]With such an endurin' pain that it keeps them in the pourin' rain
[02:43.622]Who's to blame for tootin' caine into your own vein
[02:46.372]What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[02:50.238]You claim the insane and ain't this day and time for fallin'
[02:53.002]Prey to crime I say the system got you victim to your mind
[02:56.760]Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
[03:00.270]Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you
[03:05.276]Don't go chasin' waterfalls
[03:08.109]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[03:14.936]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:21.718]But I think you're moving too fast
[03:33.229]Oh you're moving too fast
[03:49.816]Don't go chasin' waterfalls
