Waterfalls (瀑布) - Old Skool R & B Masters
A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at her 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 knows 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 gives him loving
That his body can't handle
But all he can say is
"Baby is 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
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't you 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
Come on
I'd seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not one God giving 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 and 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 keeps them in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame for tootin
Caine into your own vein
What a shame you shoot
And aim for someone elses blame
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin prey to crime
I say the system's 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
I know that you're gonna
Have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
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
