Waterfalls - TLC

A lonely mother gazing out of the window

Staring at her 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 layin 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 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 is 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

Y all, dont you 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 you re 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 you re moving too fast

Come on

I d seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone

Leaving a trace of not one God giving 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 and 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 into your own vein

What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone elses blame

You claim the insane for this day

And time for falling prey to crime

I say the system s got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming 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 you re moving too fast 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 you re moving too fast
