Waterfalls

A lonely mother gazing out of the window

Staring at her 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 realise it hurts her so much

Guess all the hopin' 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 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

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

3 letters took him to his final resting place

Ya'll don't hear me

Chorus x2

I seen a rainbow yesterday

But too many storms have come and gone

Leavin' a trace of not one 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 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

You dried the tears from my eyes

No more lonely cries

I seen a rainbow yesterday

Too many storms have come and gone

Because my life is ten shades of grey

I pray all ten fade away

I seen a rainbow yesterday

Too many storms have come and gone

Because my life is ten shades of grey

I pray all ten fade away

Chorus x3

I seen a rainbow yesterday

Too many storms have come and gone

Because my life is ten shades of grey

I pray all ten fade away
