A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just canand't touch
If at any time heand's in a jam
Sheand'll be by his side
But he doesnand't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ainand't helping
At all and'cause he canand'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:
Donand't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
Youand're used to
I know that youand're gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But i think youand're moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just canand't see
She gives him loving that his body canand't handle
But all he can say is baby itand's good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse
In the mirror
But he doesnand't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesnand't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Yand'all donand't hear me
Chorus
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavinand' a trace of not one god-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
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
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedinand' hope
Is for the folk who canand't cope
Wit such an endurinand' pain
That it keeps and'em in the pourinand' rain
Whoand's to blame
For tootinand' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone elseand's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallinand' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of cominand' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
Chorus
