Waterfalls

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

1-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

3 letters took him to his final resting place

Y'all don't hear me?

1-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

1-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

I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms

Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not

Good-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 cri endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain

Who's to bl a shame

1-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

1-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

The End.
