Waterfalls - Steve Poltz
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
But all that praying just
Ain't helping at all
He can't seem to keep
His self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes
His money the best way he know 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 fast
Little precious has
A natural obsession
For temptation that
He just can't see
She gives him loving
That his body can't handle
But all he could say is
'baby it's good to me'
One day he go and takes
A glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't
Recognize his own face
His health is fading and
He doesn't know why
4 letters took him to
His final resting place
Ya'll 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
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms
Have come and gone
Leavin' 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
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 can't cope with
Such an endurin' pain that
It keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame for tootin'
'Cain 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 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
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
