[Originally by TLC]
2
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
3
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
4
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
5
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
6
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
7
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
8
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
9
Another body laying cold in the gutter
10
Listen to me
11
[Chorus:]
12
Don't go chasing waterfalls
13
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
14
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
15
But I think you're moving too fast
16
Little precious has a natural obsession
17
For temptation but he just can't see
18
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
19
But all he can say is "Baby, it's good to me."
20
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
21
But he doesn't recognize his own face
22
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
23
Three letters took him to his final resting place
24
Y'all don't hear me
25
[Chorus 2x]
26
Come on
27
I seen a rainbow yesterday
28
But too many storms have come and gone
29
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
30
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
31
I pray all ten fade away
32
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
33
And like His promise is true
34
Only my faith can undo
35
The many chances I blew
36
To bring my life to anew
37
Clear blue and unconditional skies
38
Have dried the tears from my eyes
39
No more lonely cries
40
My only bleedin' hope
41
Is for the folk who can't cope
42
With such an endurin' pain
43
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
44
Who's to blame
45
For tootin' 'caine into your own vein
46
What a shame
47
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
48
You claim the insane
49
And name this day in time
50
For fallin' prey to crime
51
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
52
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
53
In hopes of comin' true
54
Believe in yourself
55
The rest is up to me and you
56
[Chorus 2x]
