[00:19.820]A lonely mother gazining out of the window
[00:25.230]Staring at her son that she just can’t touch
[00:29.620]If at any time he’s in a jam she’ll be by his side
[00:34.470]But he doesn’t realize he hurts her so much
[00:39.790]But all the praying just ain’t helping at all
[00:44.730]Cuz he can’t seem to keep his self out of trouble
[00:49.960]So he goes out and he makes his money
[00:53.160]The best way he knows how
[00:55.270]Another body layin cold in the gutter
[00:59.740].
[01:00.280]Listen to me
[01:00.870].
[01:01.560]Don’t go chasing waterfalls
[01:05.290]Please stick to the rivers
[01:07.30]And the lakes that you’re used to
[01:10.270]I know that you’re gonna have it
[01:12.750]Your way or nothing at all
[01:15.100]But I think you’re moving too fast
[01:18.430].
[01:21.690]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:26.430]For temptation but he just can’t see
[01:32.110]She gives him loving that his body
[01:35.130]Can’t handle but all he can say
[01:38.300]Is “baby is good to me”
[01:42.220]One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
[01:46.700]But he doesn’t recognize his own face
[01:51.410]His health is fading and he doesn’t know why
[01:56.509]3 letters took him to his final resting place…
[02:01.40].
[02:01.420]Y’all don’t you hear me
[02:02.580]Don’t go chasing waterfalls
[02:06.210]Please stick to the rivers
[02:08.430]And the lakes that you’re used to
[02:11.700]I know that you’re gonna have it
[02:14.20]Your way or nothing at all
[02:16.880]But I think your moving too fast(2x)
[02:23.600]
[02:24.110]Come on
[02:24.730].
[02:24.960]I seen a rainbow yesterday
[02:26.90]But to many storms have come and gone
[02:26.530]Leaving a trace
[02:27.190]Of not one God giving ray
[02:28.640]Is it because
[02:29.390]My life is ten shades of grey
[02:30.790]I pray all ten fade away
[02:31.910]Seldom praise him for the seven days
[02:33.350].
[02:33.680]And like his promise is true
[02:35.130]Only my faith can undo
[02:36.160]The many chances I blew
[02:37.410]To bring my life to anew
[02:38.530]Clear and blue and unconditional
[02:40.420]Skies have dried the tears from my eyes
[02:42.90]No more lonely cries,
[02:43.440]My only bleeding hope
[02:47.840]Is for the folk who can’t cope
[02:52.930]With such an endurine pain
[02:56.250]That it keeps them in the pourin’ rain
[03:00.430]Who’s to blame for tootin caine into your own vein
[03:02.360]What a shame you shoot and aim
[03:03.960]For some one elses blame
[03:06.100]You claim the insane for
[03:07.780]This day and time for falling
[03:08.700]Prey to crime I say the system’s
[03:10.50]Got you victim to your own mind
[03:10.950].
[03:12.110]Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:12.860]In hopes of coming true
[03:13.610]Believe in yourself
[03:14.350]The rest is up to me and you
[03:14.990].
[03:15.640]Don’t go chasing waterfalls
[03:17.40]Please stick to the rivers
[03:17.910]And the lakes that you’re used to
[03:18.640]I know that you’re gonna have it
[03:19.329]Your way or nothing at all
[03:20.910]But I think your moving too fast X2 (faded)
