Waterfalls - Meshell Ndegeocello

A lonely mother gazing out of the window

Staring at her son she just can’t touch

If at any time he’s in a jam, she’s by his side

I’m so sorry I hurt you so much

Please answer my prayer

Can’t keep himself out of trouble

Can’t keep himself out of trouble

But these prayers ain’t helping at all

I made my way

The best way I know how

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

Going

Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation

But he just can’t see

She gives him loving that his body can’t handle

She’s so good to me

She’s so good to me

One day he goes and take a look at the mirror

But doesn’t recognize his own face

His health is fading and he doesn’t know why

May we all find peace

In our final resting place

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

Stop moving so fast

Don’t go

Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go
