[00:34]A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38]Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:43]If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:48]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:56]But all the praying just ain't helping
[00:59]At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
[01:02]His self out of trouble
[01:05]So he goes out and he makes his money
[01:08]The best way he knows how
[01:11]Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
[01:18]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22]Please stick to the rivers
[01:24]And the lakes that you're used to
[01:27]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[01:31]Or nothing at all
[01:33]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:41]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:45]For temptation but he just can't see
[01:51]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:56]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:03]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:14]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:18]3 letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23]Y'all don't hear me?
[02:25]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29]Please stick to the rivers
[02:31]And the lakes that you're used to
[02:35]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[02:38]Or nothing at all
[02:40]But I think you're moving too fast
[02:47]I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
[02:50]Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not
[02:53]Good-given ray, is it because my life is ten
[02:54]Shades of gray, I pray all ten fade away
[02:56]Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[02:59]And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
[03:01]The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
[03:04]Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:07]Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:08]No more lonely cri endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[03:18]Who's to bl a shame
[03:19]You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:21]You claim the insane and name his day in time
[03:23]For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system
[03:25]Got you victim to your own mind
[03:27]Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes
[03:29]Of comin' true, believe in yourself
[03:31]The rest is up to me and you
[03:32]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:36]Please stick to the rivers
[03:38]And the lakes that you're used to
[03:42]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[03:45]Or nothing at all
[03:47]But I think you're moving too fast
[03:54]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:58]Please stick to the rivers
[04:01]And the lakes that you're used to
[04:04]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[04:08]Or nothing at all
[04:10]But I think you're moving too fast
