Don't go Chasin' Waterfalls!

Hey guys, just sharing with you my favorite song when I was a bit younger ☺; I was 25 when this song came out, and I just love it! This song was like telling me to "slow down with my life because I was moving too fast". Those were the days when I was never contented with anything, I would go one thing to the next, I never stop chasing something that would make me happy and satisfied! Back then, I want to have it may way most of the time or nothing at all. I never stick on something, especially with my job...I changed job many times until I was tired and just let go; I came to my senses that changing one thing to the other all the time will never give me satisfaction. I guess growing old will make you realize that life is precious, enjoy every second of it, don't move too fast or you'll miss all the fun along the way! Just listen to the song and you'll probably understand what I mean☺!

Waterfalls

by TLC

A lonely mother gazing out of her 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 seem to keep his self out of trouble. 

So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know 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'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 nat'ral obsession for temptation, 

but he just can't see. 

She give 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 letters took him to his final resting place. 

Y'all don't hear me. 

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. 

I seen rainbow yesterday 

But too many storms have come and gone 

Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray 

Is it because my life is ten shades of gray 

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 

Have dried the tears from my eyes 

No more lonely cries 

My only bleedin' hope 

Is for the folk who can't cope 

Wit such an endurin' pain 

That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain 

Who's to blame 

For tootin' 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 fallin prey to crime 

I say the system got you victim to your own mind 

Dreams are hopeless aspirations 

In hopes of comin' 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'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. 

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. 

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,
