Tracy Chapman - At This Point In My Life lyrics

Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right Oh I, Oh I've Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right At this point in my life I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down If you give me a chance I'll try You see it's been a hard road the road I'm traveling on And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can At this point in my life At this point in my life Although I've mostly walked in the shadows I'm still searching for the light Won't you put your faith in me We both know that's what matters If you give me a chance I'll try You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down I've been reaching high always losing ground You see I've been reaching high but always losing ground You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb And right now right now I'm doing the best I can At this point in my life Before we take a step Before we walk down that path Before I make any promises Before you have regrets Before we talk commitment Let me tell you of my past All I've seen and all I've done The things I'd like to forget At this point in my life At this point in my life I'd like to live as if only love mattered As if redemption was in sight As if the search to live honestly Is all that anyone needs No matter if you find it You see when I've touched the sky The earth's gravity has pulled me down But now I've reconciled that in this world Birds and angels get the wings to fly If you can believe in this heart of mine If you can give it a try Then I'll reach inside and find and give you All the sweetness that I have At this point in my life At this point in my life
