Waterfalls

作词 : Etheridge, Lopes ...

[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
