Waterfall
Johnson Andreas Lyrics

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
A mother who is alone looks outside through her window

Staring at a son that she just can't touch
She is looking at her son but cannot reach him

If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
If her son is ever in trouble, she will be there to support him

But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But her son doesn't know that he is causing her pain

But all the praying just ain't helping at all
Despite her efforts to pray, it doesn't seem to be making a difference

'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
Her son keeps getting into problems and can't seem to avoid them

So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
He makes money using the only way he knows how

Another body laying cold in the gutter
Someone else has died and their body is on the street

Listen to me
Pay attention to what I'm saying

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Don't pursue unrealistic goals

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
Stay within your comfort zone

I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
I understand that you want things your way or not at all

But I think you're moving too fast
But I believe you're progressing too quickly

Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
Someone named Little Precious is drawn to tempting things by nature

But he just can't see
But they are unable to recognize the danger

She give him loving that his body can't handle
Little Precious is receiving affection that they are unable to handle

But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
They can only respond positively to the situation

One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
One day, Little Precious looks at themselves in the mirror

But he doesn't recognize his own face
But they don't recognize themselves

His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Their health is deteriorating and they don't understand why

Three letters took him to his final resting place
Little Precious died due to a disease

Y'all don't hear me
You're not fully listening to me

I seen rainbow yesterday
I saw a rainbow yesterday

But too many storms have come and gone
But there have been too many problems in the past

Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
Causing a lack of a normal, natural occurrence

Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
Is it because my life is lacking joy

I pray all ten fade away
I hope all my problems disappear

Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
Don't thank Him enough for the good times

And like his promise is true
Just like God is reliable

Only my faith can undo
Only having faith can solve the problem

The many chances I blew
The times I missed my opportunities

To bring my life to anew
To start my life anew

Clear blue and unconditional skies
A perfect, positive environment

Have dried the tears from my eyes
Have eliminated my sorrows

No more lonely cries
I no longer feel alone

My only bleedin' hope
My only meaningful chance

Is for the folk who can't cope
Is for those who can't handle

Wit such an endurin' pain
With such a persistent pain

That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
That they remain in the pouring rain

Who's to blame
Who is responsible

For tootin' caine in your own vein
For injecting cocaine in your own veins

What a shame
What a regrettable situation

You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You harm others by causing them to become addicted to drugs

You claim the insane
You attempt to justify insanity

And name this day in time
Assigning a name to this particular time

For fallin prey to crime
For becoming a victim of crime

I say the system got you victim to your own mind
The system made you a victim of your own desires

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
Dreams are unrealistic hopes

In hopes of comin' true
In order for them to come true

Believe in yourself
Have faith in yourself

The rest is up to me and you
The rest is dependent on us
