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 nat'ral 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.SongtextePlease 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. I seen rainbow yesterdayBut too many storms have come and goneLeavin' a trace of not on God-given rayIs it because my life is ten shades of grayI pray all ten fade awaySeldom praise Him for the sunny daysAnd like His promise is trueOnly my faith can undoThe many chances I blewTo bring my life to anewClear blue and unconditional skiesHave dried the tears from my eyesNo more lonely criesMy only bleedin' hopeIs for the folk who can't copeWit such an endurin' painThat it keeps 'em in the pourin' rainWho's to blameFor tootin' caine in your own veinWhat a shameYou shoot and aim for someone else's brainYou claim the insaneAnd name this day in timeFor fallin prey to crimeI say the system got you victim to your own mindDreams are hopeless aspirationsIn hopes of comin' trueBelieve in yourselfThe 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.
