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 realise he hurts her so muchBut all the praying just ain't helping at all
Cause he can't seem to keep himself put 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 fastLittle precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
And all he can say is baby is good to meOne day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognise his own face (Recognise his own face)
His health is fading but he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place (You're gonna hear me)Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fastI see a rainbow yesterday but too many storms
Have come and gone even a trace of not one God giving ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise him for the seven daysAnd like his promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anewClear and blue
And unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely criesDon'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 (Oh 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, moving too fast.
