Waterfalls by TLC

A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at a son that she (1)________ 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 (2)________ 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

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 moving too fast

Little precious has a (3)______________ 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 (4)______________ took him to his final resting place
You all don't hear me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you (5)________ to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or (6)______________ at all
But I think 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 given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom (7)____________ Him for the sunny days
And (8)________ 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 enduring pain
That it keeps them in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for tooting caine in your own vein
What a shame, you (9)__________ 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)
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you used to
I know that you're gonna (10)________ it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Oh, you're moving too fast
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
