Waterfalls (TLC cover) Lyrics

Lonely mother gazing out of her window.
Staring at the son that she just can't touch.
Well if it any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side.
But he doesn't realize it hurts her so much.
And all that praying just ain't helping at all.
'Cos he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble.
He makes his money the best way he knows how.
Another body lying cold in the gutter.

Don't go chasing waterfalls.
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
Well I know 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 that he just couldn't see.
She gives him loving that his body can't handle.
But all he can say is "Baby, it's good to me."
And 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.
So listen.

Don't go chasing waterfalls.
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
Well I know 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.
Well I know you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all.
But I think you're moving too fast.

I've seen a rainbow yesterday.
But too many storms have come and gone.
Leaving a trace of not one God given ray.
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey?
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 a new.
Clear blue and unconditional skies.
Have dried the tears from my eyes.
No more lonely cries.
My only bleeding hope.
Is for the folk who can't cope.
With such an enduring pain.
That it leaves them in the pouring rain.
Well who's to blame?
For shooting cocaine into your own veins?
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain.
You claim the insane.
And name this day and time.
For falling prey to crime.
I say the system got you victim to your own mind.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations.
In hopes of coming 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.
Well I know 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.
Well I know you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all.
But I think you're moving too fast.
