I guess I was to stunned by beauty. But It took me a while to understand how meaningful this song is. Waterfalls (A Capella) 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 natural 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 a 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
I've loved this song from the first time. Never want there to be a last time. Bringing a legend to life.
The things we do to each other The things that we do for each other The things that are never done even when they are over. The things that are never over. This is our world What shall we make of it? And over and through it all We must carry and protect this fragile diminishing hope that "All men shall be brothers" We must cling to the one truth that can carry us through this seemingly endless darkness. "The darkest of hours comes just before the dawn."
True confessions time. I never got Amy, never much liked her music. Sometimes it just takes a change in material. I liked this song.I think she pretty much nailed it.
And closing out the set We have this probing musical question, if you think you know the answer phone it in and win a...
If I have it right, a stalker destroyed her performing life and nearly the rest of it too. Looks like beauty is a mixed blessing. I think she's performing again. If not I sure hope this monster is removed from her life and she could perform again.
It's an amazing song, maybe even a landmark. Just for the heck of it, "A Capella" means NO instruments at all.
