1.
A lonely mother gazing out 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 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 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 to fast

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 doens't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me?

 *Chorus* x 2

 Come on
 I see a rainbow yesterday,
 But too many storms have come and gone
 Leavin' a trace of not on Good-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 blindin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
With such an enduring pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame

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
(I say the system got you victim, to your own mind)

Dreams and hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Belive in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

*Chorus* x 2
