Verse 1

A lonely mother gazing out of the 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 the praying just ain't helping at all

'Cause he can't seem to keep himself 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

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

Verse 2

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 recognize 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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

Come on!

I 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

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 bleeding 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 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 to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true

Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you

Chorus

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

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
