[length: 04:20]
[00:33.68]A lonely mother gazin’ out of the window
[00:38.31]Staring at a son that she just can’t touch
[00:43.48]If at any time he’s in a jam
[00:46.41]She’ll be by his side
[00:48.76]But he doesn’t realize he hurts her so much
[00:56.15]But all the prayin’ just ain’t helpin’ at all
[01:00.56]’Cause he can’t seem to keep his self out of trouble
[01:05.78]So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
[01:11.48]Another body layin’ cold in the gutter
[01:16.35]Listen to me
[01:18.28]Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls
[01:22.37]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
[01:25.98]That you’re used to
[01:28.03]I know that you’re gonna have it your way
[01:31.83]Or nothin’ at all
[01:33.69]But I think you’re movin’ too fast
[01:41.46]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:45.42]For temptation, but he just can’t see
[01:52.07]She gives him lovin’ that his body can’t handle
[01:56.32]But all he can say is, baby it’s good to me
[02:03.17]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07.80]But he doesn’t recognize his own face
[02:14.27]His health is fading and he doesn’t know why
[02:18.64]Three letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.26]Ya’ll don’t hear me
[02:25.17]Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls
[02:29.22]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
[02:32.90]That you’re used to
[02:35.24]I know that you’re gonna have it your way
[02:38.72]Or nothin’ at all
[02:40.47]But I think you’re movin’ too fast
[02:45.73]Come on
[02:47.83]I seen a rainbow yesterday
[02:49.75]But too many storms have come and gone
[02:51.53]Leavin’ a trace of not one God given ray
[02:53.89]Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
[02:55.80]I pray, all ten fade away
[02:57.29]Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[02:59.16]And like his promise is true, only my faith can undo
[03:01.97]The many chances I blew, to bring my life to anew
[03:04.84]Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:06.84]Have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
[03:10.05]My only bleedin’ hope is for the folk who can’t cope
[03:12.53]With such an endurin’ pain
[03:13.97]That it keeps em’ in the pourin’ rain
[03:15.89]Who’s to blame for tootin’ ‘caine into your own vein?
[03:18.61]What a shame
[03:19.34]You shoot and aim for someone else’s brain
[03:21.10]You claim the insane and name this day and time
[03:23.28]For fallin’ prey to crime
[03:24.47]I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[03:27.27]Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:28.78]In hopes of comin’ true
[03:30.43]Believe in yourself
[03:31.41]The rest is up to me and you
[03:32.44]Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls
[03:36.31]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
[03:39.72]That you’re used to
[03:42.04]I know that you’re gonna have it your way
[03:45.94]Or nothin’ at all
[03:47.74]But I think you’re movin’ too fast
[03:52.22](Oh, you’re movin’ too fast)
[03:54.96]Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls
[03:58.99]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
[04:02.07]That you’re used to
[04:04.50]I know that you’re gonna have it your way
[04:08.28]Or nothin’ at all
[04:10.26]But I think you’re movin’ too fast
