[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]
