Waterfalls - TLC
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
hisself 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
Don't go chasin' 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
Don't go chasin' 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
Don't go chasin' 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 seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms
have come and gone
Leavin' a trace
of not one God 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 cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps em'
in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine
into your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim
for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you
victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless
aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
Don't go chasin' 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
Don't go chasin' 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
