[00:00.17] TLC - Waterfalls

[00:31.97] A lonely mother gazing out of her window, Staring at a son that she just can't touch

[00:42.02] 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

[00:53.70] But all the praying just ain't helping at all, 'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble

[01:04.74] So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how

[01:10.59] Another body laying cold in the gutter, Listen to me

[01:16.90] Don't go chasing waterfalls, Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[01:26.72] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

[01:32.83] But I think you're moving too fast

[01:40.23] Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation But he just can't see

[01:51.60] She give him loving that his body can't handle, But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"

[02:02.17] One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror, But he doesn't recognize his own face

[02:11.97] 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

[02:23.87] Don't go chasing waterfalls, Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[02:33.81] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, But I think you're moving too fast

[02:46.76] Don't go chasing waterfalls, Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[02:56.55] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, But I think you're moving too fast

[03:09.00] I seen a rainbow yesterday, But too many storms have come and gone

[03:12.61] Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray, Is it because my life is ten shades of gray

[03:17.08] I pray all ten fade away, Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

[03:20.77] And like his promise is true, Only my faith can undo

[03:23.16] The many chances I blew, To bring my life to anew

[03:26.07] Clear blue and unconditional skies, Have dried the tears from my eyes, No more lonely cries

[03:31.33] My only bleedin' hope, Is for the folk who can't cope

[03:34.25] Wit such an endurin' pain, That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain

[03:37.06] Who's to blame, For tootin' caine in your own vein

[03:40.24] What a shame, You shoot and aim for someone else's brain

[03:42.87] You claim the insane, And name this day in time, For fallin prey to crime

[03:46.04] I say the system got you victim to your own mind

[03:48.71] Dreams are hopeless aspirations, In hopes of comin' true

[03:51.59] Believe in yourself, The rest is up to me and you

[03:54.50] Don't go chasing waterfalls, Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[04:03.11] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

[04:09.23] But I think you're moving too fast

[04:15.83] Don't go chasing waterfalls, Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[04:25.36] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

[04:30.95] But I think you're moving too fast
