| [00:19.820] |
A lonely mother gazining out of the window |
| [00:25.230] |
Staring at her son that she just can’t touch |
| [00:29.620] |
If at any time he’s in a jam she’ll be by his side |
| [00:34.470] |
But he doesn’t realize he hurts her so much |
| [00:39.790] |
But all the praying just ain’t helping at all |
| [00:44.730] |
Cuz he can’t seem to keep his self out of trouble |
| [00:49.960] |
So he goes out and he makes his money |
| [00:53.160] |
The best way he knows how |
| [00:55.270] |
Another body layin cold in the gutter |
| [00:59.740] |
. |
| [01:00.280] |
Listen to me |
| [01:00.870] |
. |
| [01:01.560] |
Don’t go chasing waterfalls |
| [01:05.290] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [01:07.30] |
And the lakes that you’re used to |
| [01:10.270] |
I know that you’re gonna have it |
| [01:12.750] |
Your way or nothing at all |
| [01:15.100] |
But I think you’re moving too fast |
| [01:18.430] |
. |
| [01:21.690] |
Little precious has a natural obsession |
| [01:26.430] |
For temptation but he just can’t see |
| [01:32.110] |
She gives him loving that his body |
| [01:35.130] |
Can’t handle but all he can say |
| [01:38.300] |
Is “baby is good to me” |
| [01:42.220] |
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror |
| [01:46.700] |
But he doesn’t recognize his own face |
| [01:51.410] |
His health is fading and he doesn’t know why |
| [01:56.509] |
3 letters took him to his final resting place… |
| [02:01.40] |
. |
| [02:01.420] |
Y’all don’t you hear me |
| [02:02.580] |
Don’t go chasing waterfalls |
| [02:06.210] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [02:08.430] |
And the lakes that you’re used to |
| [02:11.700] |
I know that you’re gonna have it |
| [02:14.20] |
Your way or nothing at all |
| [02:16.880] |
But I think your moving too fast(2x) |
| [02:23.600] |
|
| [02:24.110] |
Come on |
| [02:24.730] |
. |
| [02:24.960] |
I seen a rainbow yesterday |
| [02:26.90] |
But to many storms have come and gone |
| [02:26.530] |
Leaving a trace |
| [02:27.190] |
Of not one God giving ray |
| [02:28.640] |
Is it because |
| [02:29.390] |
My life is ten shades of grey |
| [02:30.790] |
I pray all ten fade away |
| [02:31.910] |
Seldom praise him for the seven days |
| [02:33.350] |
. |
| [02:33.680] |
And like his promise is true |
| [02:35.130] |
Only my faith can undo |
| [02:36.160] |
The many chances I blew |
| [02:37.410] |
To bring my life to anew |
| [02:38.530] |
Clear and blue and unconditional |
| [02:40.420] |
Skies have dried the tears from my eyes |
| [02:42.90] |
No more lonely cries, |
| [02:43.440] |
My only bleeding hope |
| [02:47.840] |
Is for the folk who can’t cope |
| [02:52.930] |
With such an endurine pain |
| [02:56.250] |
That it keeps them in the pourin’ rain |
| [03:00.430] |
Who’s to blame for tootin caine into your own vein |
| [03:02.360] |
What a shame you shoot and aim |
| [03:03.960] |
For some one elses blame |
| [03:06.100] |
You claim the insane for |
| [03:07.780] |
This day and time for falling |
| [03:08.700] |
Prey to crime I say the system’s |
| [03:10.50] |
Got you victim to your own mind |
| [03:10.950] |
. |
| [03:12.110] |
Dreams are hopeless aspirations |
| [03:12.860] |
In hopes of coming true |
| [03:13.610] |
Believe in yourself |
| [03:14.350] |
The rest is up to me and you |
| [03:14.990] |
. |
| [03:15.640] |
Don’t go chasing waterfalls |
| [03:17.40] |
Please stick to the rivers |
| [03:17.910] |
And the lakes that you’re used to |
| [03:18.640] |
I know that you’re gonna have it |
| [03:19.329] |
Your way or nothing at all |
| [03:20.910] |
But I think your moving too fast X2 (faded) |
| [03:26.340] |
