A lonely mother gazing out 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 knows how Another body laying 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 to 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 doens't know why Three letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me?
*Chorus* x 2
Come on I see a rainbow yesterday, But too many storms have come and gone Leavin' a trace of not on Good-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 blindin' hope Is for the folk who can't cope With such an enduring pain That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain Who's to blame
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
(I say the system got you victim, to your own mind)
Dreams and hopeless aspirations In hopes of comin' true Belive in yourself The rest is up to me and you
[20세기를 빛낸 팝]
이곡은 "20세기를 빛낸 팝송 히트곡100선" 배철수의 음악캠프(2002년 11월방송) 라디오 프로그램에서 선정 한 것이다. 100위부터 1위까지 하나씩 올려봐야겠다. 또 올렸던 음악중 예전에 MBC 김기덕의 골든디스크에서 선정한 "한국인이 좋아하는 팝 100곡", 코리아팝 사이트에서 선정한 "한국인이 좋아하는 팝 200곡"을 올리고 있다. 이자료는 객관적인 자료가 아니고 라디오 프로그램과 선정 당시의 팬투표와 해당 방송국의 기준에따라 선정된걸로 알고있다.
