Waterfalls lyrics

• 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

  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
  Three letters took him to his final resting place
  Y'all don't hear me

  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
  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

  Come on
  I seen a rainbow yesterday
  But too many storms have come and gone
  Leavin' a trace of not one God-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 cries
  My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope
  With such an endurin' pain that it keeps them in the pourin' rain
  Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine in your own vein?
  What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
  You claim the insane and name this 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

  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 (Oh you're moving too fast)
  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
