At this point in my life lyrics

Artist  : Tracy chapman 
Song : At this point in my life
 
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 hard 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-just saying so you
understand that right now, right
now I'm doing the best that 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 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 but mostly 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 the
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.
