-♫ A lonely mother gazin´ out of her window ♫
♫ Starin´ at a son that she just can´t touch ♫
-Yeah.
-♫ 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 prayin´ just ain´t helpin´ at all ♫
♫ ´Cause he can´t seem to keep himself out of trouble ♫
-♫ So he goes out and he makes his money ♫
♫ The best way he knows how ♫
♫ Another body lyin´ cold in the gutter ♫
-♫ Don´t go chasin´ 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 nothin´ at all ♫
♫ But I think you´re movin´ too fast ♫
-Oh, here come my part.
♫ Uh, uh ♫
♫ 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 10 shades of gray ♫
♫ I pray all 10 fade away ♫
♫ Seldom praise Him for the rainy days ♫
-♫ And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo ♫
♫ The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew ♫
♫ Dreams are hopeless aspirations ♫
♫ Or hope of comin´ true ♫
-♫ Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you ♫
-Three, four!
-♫ Don´t go chasin´ 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 nothin´ at all ♫
♫ But I think you´re movin´ too fast ♫
-♫ Ooh! ♫ -Yeah!
-♫ Don´t go chasin´ 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 nothin´ at all ♫
♫ But I think you´re movin´ too fast ♫
-♫ Hey ♫ -♫ Ooh ♫
I love that. That was it.
Whatever that was, that was awesome.
That´s how you sing, America. [ Laughter ]
