Lyrics
0:34A lonely mother gazing out of her window
0:38Staring at a son that she just can't touch
0:43If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
0:49But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
0:56But all the praying just ain't helping at all
1:00'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
1:06So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
1:12Another body laying cold in the gutter
1:16Listen to me
1:18Don't go chasing waterfalls
1:22Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
1:28I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
1:34But I think you're moving too fast
1:41Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
1:47But he just can't see
1:52She give him loving that his body can't handle
1:57But all he can say is baby it's good to me
2:04One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
2:08But he doesn't recognize his own face
2:15His health is fading and he doesn't know why
2:19Three letters took him to his final resting place
2:23Y'all don't hear me
2:25Don't go chasing waterfalls
2:29Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
2:35I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
2:41But I think you're moving too fast
2:48Don't go chasing waterfalls
2:52Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
2:57I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
3:03But I think you're moving too fast
3:08Come on
3:10I seen rainbow yesterday
3:12But too many storms have come and gone
3:14Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
3:16Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
3:18I pray all ten fade away
3:19Seldom praise him for the sunny days
3:21And like his promise is true
3:23Only my faith can undo
3:24The many chances I blew
3:26To bring my life to anew
3:27Clear blue and unconditional skies
3:29Have dried the tears from my eyes
3:31No more lonely cries
3:32My only bleedin' hope
3:33Is for the folk who can't cope
3:35Wit such an endurin' pain
3:36That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
3:38Who's to blame
3:39For tootin' caine in your own vein
3:41What a shame
3:42You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
3:44You claim the insane
3:44And name this day in time
3:46For falling prey to crime
3:47I say the system got you victim to your own mind
3:49Dreams are hopeless aspirations
3:51In hopes of comin' true
3:53Believe in yourself
3:54The rest is up to me and you
3:55Don't go chasing waterfalls
3:59Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
4:04I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
4:10But I think you're moving too fast
4:17Don't go chasing waterfalls
4:21Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
4:27I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
4:32But I think you're moving too fast
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 know how Another body laying cold in the gutter Listen to me 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 give 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 Three letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me 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 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 Come on I seen rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leavin' a trace of not on 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 in your own vein What a shame You shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane And name this day in time For falling 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 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 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
