Waterfalls

Текст песни Urban Players - 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 realise he hurts her so much
And 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 a 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 fast

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 recognise his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear 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

Come on
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not one God-given day
You said because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away so I can praise you for the sunny days
And like his promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
Whenever in my life too I knew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Would wipe the tears from my eyes, not my lonely cries
My only pleading hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an enduring pain that it keeps them in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for turning sane into your own pain
What a shame you shouldn't aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time for Paul to pray
And grandma say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations and hopes are coming true
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you

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
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
