Waterfalls

Ooh, waterfalls
Ooh, waterfalls

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

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 that he just can't see
She gives him lovin' that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me, good 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

I've 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 ten shades of gray, I pray all
Ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an enduring pain that keeps 'em in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for tooting 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 falling prey to crime
I say the system got you victim in your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of coming true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

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
You're moving too fast
Moving too fast

Moving too fast
You're moving too fast
Chasing waterfalls
