capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
N.C. x4
Verse 1
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 knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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 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
3 letters took him to his final resting place, y'all don't hear me?
Chorus
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
Chorus
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 c'mon
Verse 3
I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given 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
G N.C.
Clear blue and unconditional skies, have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope, is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey
to crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
(fade out)
