A lonely mother gazing out of her 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 himself out of trouble So it 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 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 tucked into his spine No rest in place, ya don't 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 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 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 in shades of gray? I pray all ten beta waves delve and raise them for the seventies And like his promise is true, only my faith can undo The many chances I blew to bring my life to an end Clear blue and unconditioned, those skies have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries My only leading hope is for the folk who can't cope with such an enduring pain That it keeps them in the pouring rain Who's to blame for tootin' gainin' to your own vain? What a shame you're shootin' aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane and aim to stay in time for Paul and Brady Grandma say the system got you victim to your own mind Dreams are hopeless aspirations and hopes are coming true Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me Go, go, chasin' 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 nothin' at all But I think you're movin' too fast Go, go, chasin' 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 nothin' at all But I think you're movin' too fast
