Waterfalls

Bette Midler

Transposer:

Intro: Verse one A lonely mother gazining 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 realize he hurts her so much   But all the praying just ain’t helping at all   Cuz 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 layin 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     Verse Two 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 is good to me"        One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror    But he doesn’t recognize his own face   His health is fading and he doesn’t know why   Verse three Three letters took him to his final resting place...    Y’all don’t you 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 your moving too fast   Verse four Come on I seen a rainbow yesterday   But to many storms have come and gone   Leaving a trace of not one God giving ray   Is it because my life is ten shades of grey   I pray all ten fade away        Seldom praise him for the seven days       And like his promise is true   Only my faith can undo   The many chances I blew        To bring my life to anew          Clear and blue and unconditional     Skies have dried the tears from my eyes   No more lonely cries          Verse five  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 your 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 your moving too fast

Cette chanson parle d'une mère qui regarde son fils avec inquiétude, consciente qu'il s'engage dans des choix dangereux qui lui font du mal. Malgré ses prières et son soutien constant, elle voit son enfant se perdre dans des activités risquées, et elle souffre de ne pas pouvoir l'aider. Le message principal met en garde contre la recherche d'expériences périlleuses, en suggérant de rester sur des chemins plus sûrs et familiers. Le contexte se situe dans une réalité où la délinquance et les addictions touchent des jeunes, montrant ainsi la vulnérabilité familiale face à ces défis. C'est un appel à parfois ralentir et à choisir la sécurité plutôt que de se laisser emporter par des désirs inaccessibles.
