Waterfalls by TLC
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 (1)________ to keep himself out of trouble
So, he goes out and he makes his money
The (2)________ way he knows how
Another (3)________ (4)____________ cold in the gutter, (5)____________ to me
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the (6)__________ (7)________ you used to
I know that you're gonna (8)________ it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're (9)____________ 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 (10)__________ a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't (11)__________________ his own face
His health is (12)____________ and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
You all don't hear me
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please (13)__________ to the rivers and the lakes that you used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I (14)__________ you're moving too fast
Come on
I've seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not on God (15)__________ ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom (16)____________ Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
The many (17)______________ I blew to bring my (18)________ to anew
Clear (19)________ and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
My (20)________ (21)________________ hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an (22)________________ pain
That it keeps them in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for (23)______________ caine in 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 (24)____________ to (25)________ own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of 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 used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're (26)____________ too fast
