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 (1)______________ he (2)__________ her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep (3)______________ 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, (4)____________ to me
Don't go (5)______________ waterfalls
Please stick to the (6)____________ and the (7)__________ that you 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, but he just can't see
She gives him loving (8)________ 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 (9)__________ resting place
You all don't hear me
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you (10)________ to
I know that you're gonna have it (11)________ way or (12)______________ at all
But I (13)__________ you're moving too fast
Come on
I've seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many (14)____________ have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not on God given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And (15)________ His promise is true, (16)________ my (17)__________ can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have (18)__________ the (19)__________ from my eyes, no more lonely cries
My (20)________ bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an enduring pain
That it keeps them in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for (21)______________ 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 victim to your own mind
Dreams are (22)________________ (23)______________________ in hopes of coming true
Believe in yourself
The (24)________ 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 (25)____________ too fast
