[00:00.00]Waterfalls (Edit) - TLC
[00:34.48]A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38.74]Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:42.34]
[00:43.62]If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
[00:49.23]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:53.37]
[00:56.59]But all the praying just ain't helping
[00:59.61]At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
[01:02.87]His self out of trouble
[01:05.02]
[01:06.01]So he goes out and he makes his money
[01:09.41]The best way he knows how
[01:11.87]Another body laying cold in the gutter listen to me
[01:17.48]
[01:18.89]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.34]
[01:22.90]Please stick to the rivers
[01:24.90]And the lakes that you're used to
[01:27.55]
[01:28.33]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[01:32.04]Or nothing at all
[01:33.36]
[01:33.93]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:36.66]
[01:41.85]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:45.88]For temptation but he just can't see
[01:49.29]
[01:52.42]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:56.35]
[01:57.08]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:01.06]
[02:03.86]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07.77]
[02:08.41]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:11.81]
[02:14.86]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:18.45]
[02:19.02]3 letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.78]Y'all don't hear me
[02:24.74]
[02:25.78]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.14]
[02:29.84]Please stick to the rivers
[02:31.93]And the lakes that you're used to
[02:34.54]
[02:35.41]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[02:38.92]Or nothing at all
[02:40.40]
[02:40.95]But I think you're moving too fast
[02:43.98]
[02:48.14]I see a rainbow yesterday but too many storms
[02:51.01]Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not
[02:52.86]Good given ray is it because my life is ten
[02:55.54]Shades of gray I pray all ten fade away
[02:57.39]Seldom praise him for the sunny days
[02:59.50]And like his promise is true only my faith can undo
[03:02.32]The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
[03:04.66]
[03:05.22]Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:07.17]Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:08.65]No more lonely cries
[03:09.48]
[03:10.30]My only bleeding hope
[03:11.15]Is for the folk who can't cope
[03:12.70]With such an endurine pain
[03:14.04]That it keeps them in the pourin' rain
[03:15.71]
[03:16.25]Who's to blame for tootin' caine into your own vein
[03:18.91]What a shame you shoot and aim
[03:20.40]For some one elses blame
[03:21.58]You claim the insane for
[03:22.56]This day and time for falling
[03:23.93]Prey to crime I say the system's
[03:25.50]Got you victim to your own mind
[03:26.80]
[03:27.39]Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:28.35]
[03:29.04]In hopes of coming true
[03:30.56]Believe in yourself
[03:31.65]The rest is up to me and you
[03:33.17]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:36.90]Please stick to the rivers
[03:39.06]And the lakes that you're used to
[03:41.60]
[03:42.44]I know that you're gonna have it
[03:45.28]Your way or nothing at all
[03:47.45]
[03:48.03]But I think your moving too fast
[03:50.91]
[03:53.67]Your moving too fast
[03:55.40]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:58.31]
[03:59.23]Please stick to the rivers
[04:01.28]And the lakes that you're used to
