TLC - Waterfalls
[00:39.52] A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:44.02] Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:49.02] If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
[00:54.53] But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[01:01.28] But all the praying just ain't helping at all
[01:06.03] 'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
[01:11.52] So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
[01:17.03] Another body laying cold in the gutter
[01:22.28] Listen to me
[01:57.78] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:01.52] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:07.03] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[02:12.81] But I think you're moving too fast
[02:20.02] Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
[02:26.52] But he just can't see
[02:30.02] She give him loving that his body can't handle
[02:35.77] But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
[02:43.03] One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:47.02] But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:53.52] His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:57.52] Three letters took him to his final resting place
[03:02.42] Y'all don't hear me
[03:26.94] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:30.69] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[03:36.78] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:42.27] But I think you're moving too fast
[03:49.87] I seen rainbow yesterday
[03:51.12] But too many storms have come and gone
[03:53.38] Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
[03:54.62] Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
[03:57.72] I pray all ten fade away
[03:58.72] Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[03:59.98] And like his promise is true
[04:02.23] Only my faith can undo
[04:03.72] The many chances I blew
[04:05.22] To bring my life to anew
[04:06.47] Clear blue and unconditional skies
[04:07.97] Have dried the tears from my eyes
[04:09.97] No more lonely cries
[04:11.23] My only bleedin' hope
[04:12.72] Is for the folk who can't cope
[04:13.97] Wit such an endurin' pain
[04:15.47] That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[04:16.72] Who's to blame
[04:18.46] For tootin' caine in your own vein
[04:19.72] What a shame
[04:20.97] You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[04:22.73] You claim the insane
[04:23.97] And name this day in time
[04:25.22] For fallin prey to crime
[04:26.47] I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[04:28.22] Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[04:29.72] In hopes of comin' true
[04:31.97] Believe in yourself
[04:32.97] The rest is up to me and you
[04:34.22] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:37.97] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:43.48] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:48.97] But I think you're moving too fast
[04:56.22] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[05:00.47] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[05:06.22] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[05:11.48] But I think you're moving too fast
