| [00:34.12] |
A lonely mother gazing out of her window |
| [00:38.42] |
Staring at a son that she just can't touch. |
| [00:43.35] |
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side |
| [00:48.80] |
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much. |
| [00:56.22] |
But all the praying just ain't helping at all |
| [01:00.46] |
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble. |
| [01:05.78] |
So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how |
| [01:11.56] |
Another body laying cold in the gutter. |
| [01:16.53] |
Listen to me. |
| [01:18.16] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls. |
| [01:22.28] |
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. |
| [01:27.90] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all |
| [01:33.53] |
But I think you're moving too fast. |
| [01:38.10] |
Y'all don't hear me. |
| [01:41.74] |
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation but he just can't see. |
| [01:52.10] |
She gives him loving that his body can't handle |
| [01:56.59] |
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me." |
| [02:03.38] |
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror |
| [02:07.80] |
But he doesn't recognize his own face. |
| [02:14.42] |
His health is fading and he doesn't know why. |
| [02:18.62] |
Three letters took him to his final resting place. |
| [02:23.61] |
Y'all don't hear me. |
| [02:25.16] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls. |
| [02:29.37] |
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. |
| [02:34.94] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all |
| [02:40.49] |
But I think you're moving too fast. |
| [02:47.62] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls. |
| [02:51.92] |
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. |
| [02:57.27] |
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all |
| [03:02.91] |
But I think you're moving too fast. |
| [03:09.10] |
I I I I saw a rainbow the other day |
| [03:12.23] |
Leavin' a trace of not on a God-given ray |
| [03:15.36] |
Is it because my life is a ten shades of gray |
| [03:17.85] |
Cause I am praying on the shades could just fade away? |
| [03:21.02] |
And like his promise |
| [03:22.33] |
My faith can undo |
| [03:23.63] |
And all the great chances that I just blew? |
| [03:26.62] |
Clear blue and unconditional skies |
| [03:28.67] |
Have dried the tears from my eyes |
| [03:30.76] |
No more lonely cries |
| [03:32.46] |
My hope is for the folk who can't cope |
| [03:36.28] |
Wit such an endurin' pain |
| [03:37.74] |
That it keeps 'em inside the pourin' rain |
| [03:40.30] |
Who's to blame |
| [03:41.35] |
For tootin' caine in your own vein |
| [03:43.38] |
What a shame |
| [03:43.93] |
You shoot and aim |
| [03:46.38] |
You claim that you insane |
| [03:49.05] |
Dreams are hopeless aspirations |
| [03:51.92] |
Believe in yourself |
| [03:53.20] |
The rest is up to me and you |
| [03:54.83] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [03:58.74] |
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to |
| [04:04.30] |
I know that your gonna have it your way |
| [04:07.89] |
Or nothing at all |
| [04:09.94] |
But I think your'e moving too fast |
| [04:15.03] |
|
| [04:16.99] |
Don't go chasing waterfalls |
| [04:21.11] |
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to |
| [04:26.70] |
I know that your gonna have it your way |
| [04:30.19] |
Or nothing at all |
| [04:35.70] |
But I think you're moving too fast |
| [04:38.51] |
