A lonely mother gazing out of her window Staring at her son that she just cant touch If at any time hes in a jam Shell be by his side But he doesnt realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just aint hellpin At all cause he cant 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 Dont go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that Youre used to I know that youre 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 cant see She gives him loving that his body cant handle But all he can say is baby is good to me One day he goes and takes a glimpse In the mirror But he doesnt recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesnt know why 3 letters took him to his final resting place Yall dont hear me
Chorus
I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leavin a trace of not one God given ray You say because my life is ten shades of grey I prey 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 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 cant cope Wit such an endurin pain That it keeps em in the puourin rain Whos to blame For tootin caine in your own vein What a shame You shoot and aim for someone elses brain You claim the insane And name this day and 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
