My mirrors laughing at me, says boy are you getting old
There’s so much junk in your life what you’ve got you don’t even know
Don’t take a phone company to tell you life’s pay as you go
I wonder how much of life is set up in utero

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It’s cool and cold and clear

Watching too much TV I’m an actor in a puppet show
There’s so much stuff in my life no room for me to grow
One day I’m going to break from my life due south down to Mexico
I’m going to burn down my house it’s the only way to let it go

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall it’s cool and cold and clear

Run your hands ‘cross the flanks of a horse
Feel the pulse of blood the heat and the force
It’s an antidote to a life spent on the beat
The beat of concrete
The beat of machines
Of mobile phones and plasma screens
How much junk in my life do I really need

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall it’s cool and cold and clear

I’m so cynical
Where I need to play
I’m so cynical find another way
I’m so cynical I can’t change
One drop is lonely
Two drops ok
Three drops can make a spray.
Four drops get carried away

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It’s cool and cold and clear

Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It’s cool and cold and clear

A lonely mother gazing out of the 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 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
Verse 2

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 dont'hear me
Chorus

Rap

I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come
Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldem 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 a new
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
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for shootin'caine into you're 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
Chorus

Playing in Jah's waterfall, I don't care who call me no
I'll never be one of dem who,
Come and try to mix it up, mix it up
So them stand ans say, we must protect our world
today
While all of ya see the whole of Africa
And watch it turn into a desert

There was a gifted man, who never knew how to plan
For the future of all creation,
So He became a soldier man, who shot I for no reason,
Dropped bombs in a foreign land
Here on Earth They've wasted away their lives
Pitting I and I against one another

Well it seems they will answer
To our son and daughter in this time
But for now they say, Oh god, Go away children, Go Away
Children, children go away !

Playing in Jah's waterfall, one day it cease to fall
We've cut down all the trees,
And watched the animals die from diseases
I dropped down on my knees and pray Oh my Father, Take I
won't you save us as you saved Noah, Ham, Shem and Japhet ?

Playing in Dunn's river fall, I don't care who call me no
For some of dem see the world, and try to escape it
Turning their back pon the land, and
Watching the mountain turn into sand
But as long as my heart beats on,
I will fight to rebuild mount Zion

There was a holy land, far beyond the ocean yea
Holding the future of all creation,
Only to vanish in a vision, that
Speaks of generation, destroying their homeland
I am crying on behalf of our children
The day must come when we will learn to live together

Playing in Jah's waterfall ... That's all I want
Playing in Jah's waterfall ... That's all i ever needed

They wanna see where they don't see
Put my hand in the guillotine
Throw my hand on the grill again
Screaming out as the water stings
Take a punch in another face
Keepin' up in a city race
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway

Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun

Sugarfree is a slip away
Breaking out of the monkey cage
Hear the sirens as they sing
Be the kids of another sin
Something new in a different place
Some one cool may be in his face
Get a life far away from this
Heal the womb with a woman's kiss
Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun

Running free like the blood in me
In my veins should I count to three
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway

Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun...

Gonna meet you on the corner
Gonna take you out of town
Out to where the grass is greener
And no one can be found

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land

Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land

Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be

Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall

So now it’s getting late,
for those who hesitate,
got no one,

But they don’t understand
and no one hears the sound,

It’s like a waterfall,
it’s an illusion.

CHORUS
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it’s a sad affair,
But you know as you hold back the power there
without the friends and lovers
you could never go on living.

Across the waterfall
that’s falling evermore
down on you,

Cascading through the days,
and flowing on it’s way,

That’s how it has to be,
just an illusion.

CHORUS REPEAT

Chimes sing Sunday morn
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home
Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how how does it feel
So good to have equalised
To lift up the lids of your eyes
As the miles they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This American satellite's won

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the west

Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her and wails
And fills up her brigantine sails

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

Chimes sing Sunday morn
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home

Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalised
To lift up the lids of your eyes

As the miles they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This American satelite's won

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the west

Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her and wails
And fills up her brigantine sails

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

Chimes sing Sunday morn
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home

Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalised
To lift up the lids of your eyes

As the mile they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This American satelites won

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the west

Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her away
And fills up her brigantine sails

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

Say it by mine,
Carry waves of light.
Caught in time,
Waitin' on the light.

Then the winds, they go by
Faster than fireflies.

Hold my hand,
Take my life.

Chorus:
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall, you're beautiful.

Live by me,
Stand next to me.

Your lovely,
Let nobody else see.
And the tide is callin'
Shadows slowly fallin'.

Waterfall, lovin me.

(Chorus)

All the terrible things I used to say,
I'd like to throw them all away.
Tell me your story
All about the sin,
I want to get to know you again.

(Chorus)

Beautiful, you're beautiful, beautiful...(Beautiful repeated)

Waterfall...

You're beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....(Repeated 3x)
