A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at her 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 realise it hurts her so much
Guess all the hopin' 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 cold 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 too 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 doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Ya'll don't hear me
Chorus x2
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 ten shades of grey
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
You dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
I seen a rainbow yesterday
Too many storms have come and gone
Because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
I seen a rainbow yesterday
Too many storms have come and gone
Because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Chorus x3
I seen a rainbow yesterday
Too many storms have come and gone
Because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
