    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.

    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.

    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.

    If only. The ruling class ALWAYS gets what it wants, minus a revolution.

    Truth be to tell, she didn't float my boat either. Maybe it was the scary eye makeup?

    It's an amazing song, maybe even a landmark.
    Just for the heck of it, "A Capella" means NO instruments at all.
